[Openal] m-audio quatro and openAL

[Yvan Vander Sanden]

I'm using Windows Vista. The Windows XP drivers from M-Audio work on
vista for all applications like Sonar and Pure Data, so that should
not be a problem. As of this morning, I've convinced myself to by a
buy a SB X-Fi titanium from a local store and it seems to work pretty
well. I am a bit anxious about latency though, and the mini-jacks are
always prone to defects. So I'd still prefer to use a more
'professional' audio card since the application i'm writing is
intended for live performances.

The question I asked might be more general: consumer audio cards do
have specific outputs for Front and Rear speakers, but professional
audio cards just have 4 or more outputs. So how to assign them?

regards,

yvan
