[Openal] openAL float extension

[Anish Chandak]

Below is the code I am testing to check for the extension. I am using OpenAL
1.1 SK for windows from http://www.openal.org/downloads.html

    floatext = alIsExtensionPresent("AL_EXT_FLOAT32");
    if(floatext == AL_TRUE)
        printf("AL_EXT_FLOAT32 extension available: Good for you!!\n");
    else
        printf("AL_EXT_FLOAT32 extension NOT available: Bad for you!!\n");

Thanks
Anish
