Hi Sean.
I'm not aware of anyone having tried to use openal on it. However, as long as
it has a decent FPU, it should be possible.

OpenAL Soft, which is a software OpenAL implementation, works comfortably on a
900MHz x86 processor running Windows with ~100 sounds playing at once. I'd
imagine a 500mhz ARM could handle a decent amount of simultanious sounds,
though you may have to disable some things. But the best way to find out
what's needed is to try. :)

OpenAL Soft 1.6 needs ALSA, OSS, Solaris' AudioIO, or DSound for sound output.
The current GIT/SVN version can also use SDL. If the Android has one of them,
it should work.
