Hi,

 

I'm about to publish my shareware game.

What i'd like to know, with regard to the system

requirements on my site:

Is openAL supported on every system?

I personally believe it is.

No, it's not supported on _every_ system, but it's supported on a lot of them.  You didn't say what platforms your game supports.  For Windows, you can provide a link here:

http://connect.creativelabs.com/openal/Downloads/oalinst.zip

Recent versions of OSX and some Linux distributions include it.  For others, you can point them at OpenAL-Soft:

Or do i need to specify 'openAL support needed (on Sound card)'

in the requirements?

I wouldn't put it that way, because OpenAL support is not necessarily needed on the sound card (most sound cards don't support it directly).  The links above will provide a software implementation (which works fine), if a specific hardware implementation isn't available.
