Hi Shaun, The delay / reverb and other effects are actually system-specific and not a part of OpenAL. OpenAL does not have these by default, so it relies on the particular system on which it is running to take care of this.
So any issues you may be seeing are not with OpenAL itself but with the way the digital signal processing is implemented on the platform / machine it is being run on.

The environmental and other effects do have a few echo issues, but over all are ok. I am not sure about anything else which is not purebasic.
