[Openal] alcCreateContext

[Daniel PEACOCK]

Hi Kieran,

Do the other laptop users have the OpenAL binaries installed?   They need
at least the OpenAL32.dll ('router') and the wrap_oal.dll ('wrapper' around
DS / DS3D).  Maybe they only have the OpenAL32.dll installed in which case
they don't actually have any OpenAL devices available?    If they do have
the files installed, then I guess the next question is ... do they have
working audio outside of AL?

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.
