[openal] streaming sounds clicking in 64 bit

[Jarryd Beck]

well that worked brilliantly. No more popping sounds, and it uses ALSA
by default
which means it works when other programs are outputting sound.

If anyone else wants to try this.
build openal soft, it will install to /usr/local/lib
Delete /usr/lib64/libopenal*
make symlinks from /usr/lib64/libopenal.so and
/usr/lib64/libopenal.so.0 to /usr/local/lib/libopenal.so.1."version
number".
