[Openal] AL error states and threads

Hi Brian,

Unfortunately the answer is "yes" because the error is stored per-Context.
This is one of the downsides to have function calls that don't return error
codes.

Hi,

I've been unable to find a clear answer for this:

If I have two threads, A and B, does a bad alSomething call on thread
A return an error for alGetError in thread B?
i.e. is the error state stored per thread or globally/per context/
something else?

I hope someone can answer.

Thanks,
Brian
