OpenAL for opensolaris

I'm trying to get openAL built for OpenSolaris (if anyone knows of an existing package and can point me in that direction, that would be great). In any case, compilation worked, but when I try to run openal-info, I get "ALC error Invalid Context occured". Any ideas on why that would be happening, or how to start tracing the problem down?

Thanks,
Brock

Hi.

That looks like it's not opening a device. What backends did it configure
with? OpenAL Soft has a Solaris-specific backend which should work, and AFAIK
some Solaris systems also have OSS. If it built with either one of those, also
make sure they're usable.

If it built with the Solaris backend, and its usable with other apps, there
may be something wrong with OpenAL Soft's Solaris code. Unfortunately I can't
directly test it since I don't have Solaris, but you're free to send patches
to fix it.
