It turns out some bad issues popped up in 1.9, and I'd like to get a fixed 
version out relatively soon. However, one of the issues is with PulseAudio not 
playing sound. This is something I experience myself with the latest GIT 
version of OpenAL Soft, however I'm not very familiar with Pulse, I can't find 
a cause from reading the code and the online docs, and asking around for help 
in #pulseaudio on FreeNode IRC didn't yield anything helpful. I don't know if 
it's a problem with the code, or if PulseAudio is just being PulseAudio (as I 
also have issues getting paplay to output sound, too).

So, if anyone reading is familiar with coding PulseAudio, it would be very 
helpful if you could check out the latest GIT/SVN version of OpenAL Soft and 
have a look through PulseAudio's code (in Alc/pulseaudio.c). Also, if anyone 
/uses/ PulseAudio, checking out the latest GIT/SVN version and just seeing if 
it woks would be helpful too (please note the PulseAudio version you use, and 
any abnormal settings).

The GIT repo is here:
git://repo.or.cz/openal-soft.git
And the SVN repo is on Creative's server:
svn://connect.creativelabs.com/OpenAL

Thanks in advance!
