I'm not sure.  I never thought adding external dependencies to ALUT was 
a good idea.  It's supposed to be a simple library for doing quick 
examples and tests.  It was never meant to be a full-featured audio 
format library.

Maybe a better idea would be a different add-on library (maybe call it 
OpenAL File Interface or ALFI), one that can link with other 3rd party 
libraries to read various formats, and provide results in OpenAL 
buffers, sources, or whatever.  This way ALUT can stay nice and simple.

Sure, just write a new version of the spec first!  :-)
