[Openal] Unable to open the device capture ???

[wassim_belhadj]

Thank you very much for your help

I'am using OpenAl windows SDK 
wrap_oal.dll ==> 2.1.8.1
OpenAL32.dll ==> 6.14.357.22

I tested OpenAL-Soft but I always have the same problem 

  ==> When i  try to record alcCaptureOpenDevice  returns NULL. !!!
  ==> One solution I have been found consist to close the device when I
want to launch capture
      and reopen it after stop recording (To can playBack sound ) but
sometimes i have error  "Unable to open the  device capture" although I
already closed device...

I would remind you that I use a usb Dictaphone to record and playback sound
(http://www.creative-tn.com/store/images/proplus.jpg)

NB:When i test my  usb Dictaphone from the properties of Sound and
Peripheral  I have got a message indicating that it's not support 
recording and playback simultaneously.

I hope to find help on you because here I am blocked...

Thanks
