[Openal] Get source offset returns AL_INVALID_ENUM

[nic at weartronics.com]

Hi Sven,

Thanks for the info! I read about this limitation for Linux, but I am 
running on Windows (which is why I am surprised). I have some more info 
about the problem...

The problem is solved by deleting / renaming nvopenal.dll in my system32 
directory. So it looks like the wrapper dll is choosing the nvidia 
native driver, and there is some problem with these enums with the 
version of the nvidia native drive I have.

So, how can I force OpenAL to use e.g. the DirectSound wrapper 
wrap_oal.dll, without deleting / renaming the native driver? I tried 
copying OpenAL32.dll and wrap_oal.dll to the same directory as my 
application, but this did not help - the native driver in system32 is 
still detected and used.

Thanks,

Nic
