[Openal] Spec typo?

[Bernardo Escalona]

Hello list, 

The spec uses this notation for setting attributes (in the listener,
for this case):

void alListener{n}{sifd}{v}(enum paramName, T values);

Where the {v} is in braces to mark it as optional. You would use it to
send a vector of values, like {1.0, 0.0, 0.5}, or you would omit it
for sending a single value such as 1.0. Am I understanding the
notation correctly?

If so, how come the notation for querying attributes (again, listener
attributes in this case) according to the spec is:

void alGetListener{sifd}v(enum param, T *values);

assuming we always want to query a vector of values? Isn't this also a
valid query:

alGetListenerf(AL_GAIN, &ret_value);

or 

ret_value = alGetListener(AL_GAIN);

?


Btw, (OT) the 1.0 spec omits the 'al_' or 'AL_' prefixes in functions
and defines throughout the document, how come you decided against this
for 1.1? Just curious.
