We want to have certain static ojbects emit sounds in our game and fade in
and out as the camera moves around the objects.  In our project we are
updating the listener with...
alListenerfv(AL_POSITION,    ListenerPos);
alListenerfv(AL_VELOCITY,    ListenerVel);
alListenerfv(AL_ORIENTATION, ListenerOri);
but there is no change to the sounds volume.  I then downloaded this
tutorial from devmaster.net
http://www.devmaster.net/articles/openal-tutorials/lesson2.php where it had

a source moving away from a static listener.  I changed it so that the
static listener was moving and the source itself was static and got the
same
problem as our project.


PS Thanks for the tip on handling the error in alGenSource to know when we
hit the limit of channels being used.  Worked that to make a smooth way of
kicking out lower priority sounds and retrying on the higher one.
