[Openal] What goes after main()?

[Sven Panne]

If you are just starting to use OpenAL, ALUT is definitely the way to go
as it takes away the burden of device/context-management, file loading,
etc. But one small warning: The tutorial mentioned below uses the old,
deprecated ALUT API. The new ALUT implementation still supports it, but
if possible, avoid learning the deprecated stuff. :-) The ALUT spec
(http://www.openal.org/openal_webstf/specs/alut.html) even has a 16-line
"Hello, world" program, and the ALUT sources
(http://www.openal.org/downloads.html) come with another example, which
simply plays a given sound file (currently ALUT supports
*.wav/*.au/*.raw, but this will be expanded in the future).

If somebody else has an example program using ALUT, I'd be more than
happy to incorporate it into the next ALUT release.

Cheers,
   S.
