[Openal] Buffer size problem

[Jimmy Gervais]

Yeah I meant AL_INITIAL sorry. I take good note of your advices.

By the way, I have the OpenAl Programmer's guide and Specification, but it
seems to be limited to AL.h. I'd like to use ALC or ALEXT, especially
because right now I'm limited to STEREO16 but I know Alext.h includes other
formats with higher bitrates. What should I do? Study the headers?
