Standard drill on this -- what audio device(s) are you using, what is 
the revision of openal32.dll and wrap_oal.dll in your system directory, 
revisions if you have an nvopenal.dll or a ct_oal.dll in your system 
directory, etc... 

Please try your app out with multiple audio devices -- at least "Generic 
Software" and "Generic Hardware"...  At this point, these problems seem 
to wind up being with broken DS3D drivers being used by the "Generic 
Hardware" device -- switching to "Generic Software" will probably fix 
the issue, and updating your DS3D drivers may fix the GH-device issue.

I'll make sure the spec is explicit on this point in the next revision.
