[Openal] Reseting a source

[Daniel PEACOCK]

Hi Xavier,

There is no API call to reset the attributes on a Source - so you have to
(re)set each parameter individually.   I would imagine that most of the
time the "re-used" Source would require some specific attributes rather
than the defaults - so it is more efficient to set the desired parameters
immediately.  You are absolutely right that it does mean that you have to
be careful to (re)set all the attributes.    Speaking for the Windows
implementations (where this is more relevant anyway), setting a Source
attribute to the same value that it is already, doesn't cause any work to
be done.

hi,

I have a pool of sources, which I use and reuse, depending on the
ressource manager needs.

But it occured to me that when I was reusing a source, I wasn't quite
sure of it's attributes.
So I have to reset all the attributes (or at leat the one I modify in my
code) to the default values.

So I'm wondering if there such a "alSourceResetToDefaults()" function or
some standard way to do it - to be sure not to miss any attribute?
(or if not, this is a suggestion for a revision of the API!)

xavier.
