[Openal] alGenSources(1, &s) for each audio event, then alDeleteSources. what about memory fragmentation?

[Andre Krause]

i currently implemented audio in my game this way:

* i have a list of audiobuffers holding sample data from wav files
* for each audio event (keypress klick for example) i generate a new
Source with alGensources
* if state==AL_STOPPED , i delete the source with alDeleteSources.


question: is this good practice? or should i reuse the source if
possible? how are sources internally allocated? using a memory pool
allocator? or just malloc or such so that it could  be prone to memory
fragmentation ?

just asking, my method works very fine so far under windowsxp, openAL
1.1, but who knows what happens on different systems...


kind regards, andre
