11 Assuming configuration went well, you can then build it, typically using GNU
12 Make (KDevelop, MSVC, and others are possible depending on your system setup
13 and CMake configuration).
15 Please Note: Double check that the appropriate backends were detected. Often,
16 complaints of no sound, crashing, and missing devices can be solved by making
17 sure the correct backends are being used. CMake's output will identify which
18 backends were enabled.
20 For most systems, you will likely want to make sure ALSA, OSS, and PulseAudio
21 were detected (if your target system uses them). For Windows, make sure
22 DirectSound was detected.

30 systems, including discovered devices, version information, and extensions.
36 OpenAL Soft can be configured on a per-user and per-system basis. This allows
37 users and sysadmins to control information provided to applications, as well
38 as application-agnostic behavior of the library. See alsoftrc.sample for

48 - Christopher Fitzgerald for the current reverb effect implementation, and

50 - Christian Borss for the 3D panning code previous versions used as a base.
51 - Ben Davis for the idea behind a previous version of the click-removal code.
52 - Richard Furse for helping with my understanding of Ambisonics that is used by
53 the various parts of the library.
