[Openal] EFX in Generic Hardware

[Luis]

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the reply. Well that happened in a test build, and it seems to be
gone now. But right now I have some other problem with the Generic Hardware
device. Seems that on some cards EFX doesn't work as it should, e.g. having
the same output for a sound whatever settings it's using (normal output,
filtered output, reverb'ed output or filter+reverb), like it was reverb'ed
only. I guess this is a driver issue,
since software works just fine. Any advice other than updating drivers?

Thanks in advance.
