[Openal] User Installation Instructions

[Jim B.]

[ We have OpenAL in beta test for the open source game, Alien Arena 
(homepage: http://icculus.org/alienarena/rpa/  
svn browse: http://svn.icculus.org/alienarena/ ). 
It uses the crx engine, derived from the Quake 2 engine and runs
in Windows and Unix/Linux. So far, the testing is going well. 
I have several questions, posted today under 3 separate
subjects. ]

What are good "quick start" instructions for users? Anything wrong with the
following?

For Windows:

Use OpenAL drivers supplied with your system or sound hardware. If you have
problems, make sure you have updated to the latest drivers from your system
and sound hardware manufacturers website.

If your hardware did not come with an OpenAL driver, download the OpenAL
Installer for Windows, oalinst, from
http://connect.creativelabs.com/openal/Downloads/Forms/AllItems.aspx .

For Unix/Linux:

Install OpenAl using your distributions package installer. OpenAL-Soft
1.7.411 is preferred. Alternatively, download and compile the OpenAL Soft
sources, openal-soft-1.7.411 from
http://connect.creativelabs.com/openal/Downloads/Forms/AllItems.aspx .
