[Openal] New OpenAL SDK and Redist.

[Daniel PEACOCK]

Hi All,

A new OpenAL run-time redistributable installer for Windows has been
released.  Updates include ... bug fixes and improved performance of the
Capture extension, "Generic Hardware" device returns more accurate 'Buffers
Processed' count , various performance improvements in "Generic Hardware"
and "Generic Software" devices and a number of other miscellaneous bug
fixes.   All components (the installer and the DLLs it installs) have been
given Digital Signatures (a requirement for a number of game publishers),
and in the case of the installer itself an appropriate manifest file to
prevent warnings when run on Windows 7.

A new OpenAL PC SDK has also been released.  The SDK includes the new
redist, and adds one new sample application that shows how to use OpenAL to
render the output from a software audio mixer into a streaming
multi-channel Source and, optionally, several mono 'effect bus' Sources for
sending to an auxiliary effect (e.g. reverb).

Finally I posted a new application called "ALCapsViewer" that can be used
to enumerate all the Open AL devices on a system and show their
capabilities and log this data to a text file.   It's similar to DXDiag and
DXCapsViewer but for OpenAL.

All files can be found here ...
