[Openal] More Newbie Questions

[Chris Share]

Hi,

I'm trying to get my head around how OpenAL works, in particular, the 
way it creates the effects of distance and direction.

According to replies to my previous post, these effects are either 
created in hardware or software. The software implementation is located 
in ALu.c, specifically in the aluCalculateSourceParameters(...) function.

Am I right in saying that the software implementation doesn't use HRTFs 
for creating the directional effects, and that this effect is created by 
amplitude panning?

Cheers,

Chris
