[Openal] Status of Linux implementation

[Jason Daly]

The Linux implementation (aka the Sample Implementation or SI) is 
relatively stable at the moment.  The development of thie SI is a 
community effort, and unfortunately, there haven't been a whole lot of 
contributions lately.  Many of the 1.1 spec features have been 
implemented, but I don't know for sure if it is 100% compliant yet (I 
suspect not).

As far as the handling of stereo buffers, I don't know if this has been 
changed yet (the handling of stereo buffers is part of the 1.1 spec, so 
it may have been updated).  If no one else responds soon, I'd suggest 
you try out the latest SVN version.
