[Openal] alcCreateContext

[Kieran Hayes]

Hey, Kieran here again, thanks again for the help with the stereo/mono issue, now unfortunately I've got another bug that seems not so friendly.  The issue is coming up with alcOpenDevice.  I have a sound system running that can play effects and stream music, and it works perfectly on my laptop.  I sent it to other members of the group to try out and it crashed when they tried to play songs. We tracked it down and found out that on their laptops alcOpenDevice was failing, returning NULL.  In my app I passed it NULL, and we tried changing it around, to "Native". Still worked on mine, but not on theirs. We are all using school issued laptops so our specs are exactly the same.  The only difference I can think there might be, is that I might have downloaded some driver updates.  Could this cause that error? And if so, is there any way to avoid this other than forcing any user of our game to update their drivers? Thanks for the input.
