Yeah, but thats the whole problem.
Either I:
A: Use my own supplied openal (the creative one) and don't use the
router at all.
B: Use the router, and trust that people know how to install the corrct
driver (or I include every possible oal driver).
A seems to be the simplest solution, but will force everyone to use a
"generic" implementation. B seems to be the potentially more troublesome
solution - silent install or not.

*Enumeration isn't possible using a Java binding because the enumeration
uses \0 as seperator (only with some serious doubtfull hacks).
