HI Thomas, you can change the distance model and roll-off factor with OpenAL.

A couple of years ago I updated MOTA to use OpenAL via SFML and the panning calculations were done using a logarithmic roll-off factor. It was correct from a mathematical point of view, correct from a programming point of view, but everyone and their uncle complained about the audio because it sounded wrong to them. The reason for that is they were use to the way DirectSound uses a linear roll-off when panning, and there was no way to reconcile the two approaches to audio. Cheers!
