This can be done thuru a panel right?
I would like to know if it is planned to give this functionality to some
AL function (maybe an extension).
I see DirectX audio has this call but I think I've read it would take
some effort to make it work on Linux (I believe it still needs to edit
some kind of file but I'm not used to this).
I ask this mainly because I noticed the last two games I took a look at
(one based on GameByro the other on Unreal Technology 2 I think) allowed
the user to change the setting from inside the game. Although I realize
this is just a minor feature, I believe it would be nice to have it
avaiable.

Thank you,
Massimo
