FWIW, if there's a C++ API, I think it should stick with the OpenAL 
style and not adopt another style just because it's there.  I never 
liked the STL structure and style personally, but more to the point, I 
don't think it's a good idea to change style between two API's of the 
same library.

But, that's my opinion  :-)
