Bug description:
OpenAL upstream has released a new minor version that should be fully backwards 
compatible:  http://kcat.strangesoft.net/openal.html

    * Fixed playback when the PulseAudio buffer is calculated to be more than 
64KB.
    * Restored compatibility with some older PulseAudio libs.
    * Alternative buffer sizing for PulseAudio, specified using a new config 
option.
    * Improved buffer size calculations, to prevent drastic latency changes 
when certain properties (such as ALC_FREQUENCY) are modified.
    * Added capture support for the PortAudio backend.
    * Support for PortAudio under Windows.
    * Added support for the format extensions AL_EXT_MULAW, 
AL_EXT_MULAW_MCFORMATS, and AL_EXT_DOUBLE.
    * Support for the new ALC_EXT_thread_local_context extension.
    * Improved library load time by delaying backend device probing until 
needed.
    * Updated alext.h to provide EFX tokens and function types.
    * Unsupported effects and filters are no longer returned by alGetEnumValue.
    * The Wave File Writer device now creates WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE files, to 
better handle multi-channel and float output.

According to the author, it will be needed for upcoming Wine beta releases.  
libopenal1 has a handful of rdepends, and I've tested them using a package for 
the new release (using a simple uupdate) that works perfectly.  The rdepends do 
not need a rebuild.
