Hi Dan,

Sorry for not replying sooner, I got caught up in some other stuff last
week.  I managed to have another go at it yesterday.  I noticed that moving
the engine position further from the listener resulted in more consistent
sound, also updating the POSITION of the sound before the VOLUME and PITCH
seemed to make a positive difference.  It isn't quite perfect though.

I haven't tried the AL_SOURCE_RELATIVE flag yet as I was hoping I could get
a solution that would work for both the player and network cars, and also
for replays.

I don't currently reuse buffers, everything is static for the moment.  Is
there some kind of buffer pool addon that can be used when I add network car
sound?

All the best,
Ash
