[Openal-devel] Capture broken in SI?

I tried playing around with using audio capture in OpenAL, but I couldn't seem 
to get it to work. Through my previous work, it's appeared as though 
capturing works with contexts, although the spec mentions there's no contexts 
involved with capturing. I'm not quite sure how the current SI is supposed to 
work, but I'd like to rewrite it so it behaves according to spec, and 
decouples it from ALC contexts (which would simplify quite a bit of that 
code, too).

In case some people use the current implementation though, what I'd do to 
prevent it from breaking in the interim, is reimplement it seperately, using 
different function names until they're complete and tested, then 
transparently replace the old implementation. The backend API should be good 
enough to handle the new implementation without (m)any changes.
