Unfortunately I noticed only yesterday that there are problems. openSUSE 11.2
is about to ship (RC2) and openal-soft is broken there atm. 1.8.466 locks up
waiting for some mutex and 1.9.563 doesn't play sound. Current git version also
stays silent. pulseaudio version is 0.9.19, paplay works. Also 1.9
aborts with an invalid free when exiting ioquake3. Looks like
pulse_close is called with the same pointer twice, once for playback
and then for capture.

openal-soft 1.8.466 did work just fine with with pulseaudio 0.9.14
on openSUSE 11.1 though. openal-soft git head on 11.1 doesn't play
sound either.
