Re[Openal] garding Doppler Effect

[OpenGeek]

I understand that the doppler effect in OpenAL is velocity dependent. But
what if a Game scene is changing its coordinates to new one? How to
calculate the velocity of sound using Listener's Position? Can Listener
position be changed in alListenerfv(ListenerPos)? Does it also implies that
the listener has to be in constant motion to create Doppler Effect? What
Functions are there in OpenAL to be used in Doppler shifting mechanism?

Please consider these questions for a newbie. I was unable in finding a 'to
the point' information as how openal is helping us in acheiving
:confused:Doppler effect.

Thanking you.
