Good news. For the 2D sounds, they already won't get 3D spatialization
under OpenAL. Turning off distance attenuation for 3D sounds can be
done by setting the distance model for a specific source to AL_NONE
(there's no harm in doing that for a source with a multichannel buffer
attached to it as well, if that's easier to implement).
