What hardware are you using?  In order to support the DS3D path through 
OpenAL, your hardware needs to have DS3D support.  If it doesn't, OpenAL 
will fall back to the DirectSound and/or MMSYSTEM paths.  This is why 
you see the default device as DirectSound3D, but the device you actually 
open is DirectSound.

If you know your hardware supports DirectSound3D, try installing the 
latest drivers.  It wouldn't hurt to get the latest DirectX runtime from 
Microsoft either.
