OpenAL doesn't have a notion of distance factor (for better or for worse
-- I don't really want to re-ignite an old debate here).  The factors
controlling distance attenuation are -- AL_GAIN (for the listener and
sources), AL_ROLLOFF_FACTOR, AL_REFERENCE_DISTANCE, AL_MAX_DISTANCE,
AL_MIN_GAIN, and AL_MAX_GAIN.  The relevant part of the OpenAL 1.0 spec
is 3.3-3.4.  The factor you're most concerned about is indeed
AL_REFERENCE_DISTANCE.
