I was on the OpenAL dev list (around '98, I was going some GL work at the time). They were mostly video people, but they seemed to have some understanding of the differences, but they wanted something very decalative, ala. OpenGL, which I don't think is appropriate. I don't think they understood the differnece between "apply specular reflections to this surface" and "apply chorus to this audio stream" ;) - Steve
