Finally decided to take Jason's advice and make a new API/lib for loading
extended file formats with OpenAL. AL Utilities REtooled seems fitting
enough.
It's only about a day's worth of work, and thus very rough, but it shows the
prospective API well enough, I hope. It comes with two examples, one which
simply loads a file and plays it, and another that streams a file. Currently
libSndFile is required, and libVorbisFile is optional, though I'll probably
make a simple 1/2 channel, 8/16 bit .wav loader for if libSndFile isn't
available.
CMake 2.4 is required. It should hopefully work on Windows as is, but I
haven't tested it (when it gets more finalized, both Windows and OSX will be
supported, in addition to the various Unix and Linux flavors).
The header alure.h describes the functions and general behavior.
