The thing with the way alError is specified is that you don't have to
check everywhere.  If one routine sets an error, subsequent routines
won't overwrite it.  So you can do a hundred OpenAL calls without
checking for errors and test once at the end.

You won't know precisely *where* the error happened - but you won't
fail to notice that an error happened somewhere.
