I don't think you'll be able to do this through the API. If you look at
the source for OpenAL-Soft, though, it shouldn't be too hard to figure
out where to plug in your HRTF code.
In other words, I don't think you can tap the output of the sound card,
but you should be able to tap the output from OpenAL *before* it's sent
to the sound card.
Hope this helps,
