SV: Re: [Openal] OpenAL on Macintosh

Actually there is a slight problem with the buffers causing the oal to crash after a while. Bill and Bob over at apple are working on this and the last I heard they was progressing very nice. I'm sure they will commit as soon as they are done with the 1.1.

I think everything should be fine on OS X, as long as we're talking  
about the framework installed with the Creative installer on  
developer.creative.com (for 10.3 or before), or the framework  
included with OS X 10.4.  I just ran the following test on my 10.4  
system to make sure that things are still functional to some degree:

1)   cvs -d:pserver:guest at opensource.creative.com:/usr/local/cvs- 
repository co -r MacOSX1-2_Spec1-0 openal
             -- grab the 1.0-tagged version out of CVS
2)   cd openal/demos/altest/mac
3)   jed ../common/altest.cpp
             -- set TEST_EAX to 0 near the top, to disable EAX  
testing (sorry about this -- it _will_ create compile errors otherwise)
4)   ./buildit_osx
             -- builds the test...
5)   cp ../common/resources/* .
             -- copies resources for the test app into local directory
6)   ./altest

The testing seemed OK to me -- no crashes.  That doesn't mean that  
there isn't a bug in the library that _could_ cause a crash of course...
