[Openal] Gain ignored by "Generic Hardware" device

[dpeacock at creativelabs.com]

Hi,

I just tested this, and AL_GAIN seems to be working perfectly when using
the AL_NONE distance model on the "Generic Hardware" device on my SB
Audigy.     What version of the wrap_oal.dll are you using ?  Are you
setting any AL_MIN_GAIN or AL_MAX_GAIN levels ?

Thanks,

Dan

One of my test machines ignores the gain value set with alSourcef(id,
AL_GAIN, ...) when I use the "Generic Hardware" device. All sounds, both
2D and 3D, are played at full volume regardless of which gain setting
I'm using.

I'm using alDistanceModel(AL_NONE).

If I switch to the "Generic Software" device, gain settings work as
expected.
