Also, openAL doesn't do anything other than 2.0 sound (like, 5.1 is unavailable) on Vista or later. There's a "Alchemy" kit from Creative that restores this ability, but only for Creative Labs hardware.
We're getting a bit off-topic, but to be clear, modern implementations of OpenAL have no problem rendering 5.1 audio (or at least 5.0 audio).
ALchemy doesn't restore 5.1 to OpenAL, it restores 5.1 for DirectSound3D apps that no longer worked properly on Vista. It does this by intercepting the DS3D calls and translating them to OpenAL.
I'm sure if you post the problems you were having to the OpenAL mailing list, we could help you fix them.
