Well one thing I have found with fsl the open al library that the
group I am in uses, is its powerfull more so than standard direct
sound, however there are instances where doors beakons and other
effects like lifts echo to much.
If you save some sounds in mono instead of stereo or it may be the
other way round the lib will not use them.
It takes a bit to get used to but its powerfull.
Someone on the test team had issues with things so it can be a little annoying.

Hi Shaun,
Yes, OpenAL is an awesome audio library. As I mentioned in a previous
post to the list I am strongly looking into adopting it as part of the
Evolution Engine once I have time to put the work into it. From a 3d
point of view Directsound etc can not hold a candle to it. I don't
have any personal experience with Free SL ore Pure Basic, but sounds
interesting.
Cheers!
