But OpenAL is the only solution that allows 3d surround on all major plattforms and it is allready used in commercial games like Unreal Tournament 2003, Unreal 2, Jedi Knight 2 and a lot more. The project is also still alive, the last news message from the official homepage is from December 5, 2003 and the mailinglist is still active: http://opensource.creative.com/pipermail/openal-devel/2004-February/thread.html I also think that ID software will use it for Doom 3 on Linux.
