[Openal] Re: 3d VR setup

[Brandon Thomas]

Hey

I think I have a solution, and someone please correct me if this is
too much of a hack or let me know why this is

I modified my ~/.openalrc file:

(define speaker-num 4)
(define devices '(alsa))
(define alsa-device "surround51")

before I had speaker-num set to 6, which seemed to make sense,
but apparently it likes 4 as a better number

Once I made this change, it worked?
Can any one tell me why 4 works and not 6?
also anyone have any other advice?

Again sorry for the constant posting, but at least this is documented now.
