Hi Mike, a bit late, but thanks for the feedback, also for the other patches. It has now been confirmed that the specific application (Titan Souls Demo) works without the patch. This is because Wine prefers the native version since 1.7.53 (commit 7d6c602). Furthermore upstream states in the closing message of the upstream bugreport[1] that "Since Windows doesn't ship an openal.dll, there's really no longer a need for Wine to have a built-in openal nor for wine-staging to carry patches to it, but it's also doing no harm." (Actually this was assumed already before, which was reason enough for me to assume that dropping the patch is safe. But of course I totally agree that *knowing* is better, and with the freeze coming nearer knowing is definitely required by now.) I suggest to drop the openal.patch from both wine-development and wine.
