As I said in my other response, it would be better for your installer to
automatically run oalinst.exe, if possible. Creative deliberately set
up the OpenAL32.dll as a router that can choose between multiple
implementations, so there's no reason not to run oalinst on every
end-user's machine.
If there's some reason you can't do this, I'd say go ahead and tell the
user to install oalinst whether they have an OpenAL driver or not.
This one sounds fine to me, although I think most distributions won't
have OpenAL-Soft 1.7 yet.
