channels for Fedora, Mandriva and Suse, they all know about OpenAL Soft and
are in transition or planning the switch (I think it was Fedora that hadn't
switched due to the then upcoming release). Gentoo made the switch already if
I'm not mistaken, and Ubuntu too, of course, since it syncs with Debian.
That should cover the vast majority of linux users who might use OpenAL.
