Initially I have found that value in Tao.OpenAl , later wondered that AL_DISTANCE_SCALE is not in OpenAL docs, but still googled out some talks about it (those didn't help),

Ok, it is not supported by OpenAL. Thanks for the info. (Jarryd, I have possibly sent you another reply to your private address, by mistake, sorry, currently do not need the answer however)
