[Openal] Multiple Contexts On One Device

[Daniel PEACOCK]

Hi,

Actually most of the Windows implementations of AL do not support multiple
contexts on a single device at the moment.   There needs to be some
re-architecting of the code to allow this to happen - and some special
consideration for hardware because the fixed amount of resources would need
to be shared somehow (e.g if one context generated as many Sources as it
could, then the 2nd context wouldn't be able to generate any Sources).

You should be able to have multiple contexts on any sound card.
