[Openal] make error in under windows / cygwin

[Sven Panne]

No guns involved here... :-) While you have a look at it: Could you
please try to get rid of the global variables in the Windows backend?
grab_{read/write}_native can dynamically allocate what they need and
return a pointer to that data, which can be cleared up in
release_native. Alas, this is often a general problem in various
backends.
 
Cheers,
   S.

the Windows backend looks quite suspicious:

only closed once.

thread locks the mutex and which one unlocks it, if the device is used
synchronously or asynchronously, etc.


	Well, I said it worked.  I didn't make any statements about the
quality of the code (I didn't write it, either)  ;-)
	
	

		 
		I haven't really changed the code, so all this was very
probably already the case before the build system changes.
		 
		Anyway, if I receive a fix soon it will be in the next
minor release, otherwise not. I don't think this backend should be a
blocking point...
		
		

	Putting me under the gun, eh?  All right, I'll see what I can do
:-)   It would be good if all the backends at least worked properly
before the release.
