Oh, I didn't know.

Great thing then. >> I'm also too busy to work on osgAudio, but I'd like to help as much as I can. > > We'll if neither have the time, and as no one else has dived into this > topic to volunteer we will just have to be patient. At this moment I'm trying to use OpenAl-Soft instead of OpenAL for osgAL. I think I'll try to work (a little bit) on simplifying the integration/build of osgAL and later on osgAutio despite of my work. I'll maybe only write natural language ideas (= code nothing) in a first time.
