[Openal] Performance testing

[Stevens, Peter]

Thanks for the quick reply, I may just try that =) For the moment I'm
running my tests with a very stripped down linux setup (a shell and
audio) and monitoring /proc/stat (every 1 seconds) the same way as 'top'
. Any ideas on the approximate cost or extra expenses incurred for
upgrading to multi-channel audio ?

I think the best way to compare performance is to use a profiler.
Something 
like oprofile can work without any special setting up for the app
(though it 
requires some setting up for the system/kernel). Another is gprof.. that

requires building lib as static and compiling+linking the lib and app 
with -pg, but doesn't require any system/kernel changes. Note that
OpenAL 
Soft doesn't provide a static lib normally, but you can edit
CMakeLists.txt 
to use STATIC instead of SHARED for the ADD_LIBRARY call.
