Developing Games with OpenAL?

Posted by Cliff on from the seeking-resources-and-experiences dept.

AciDive asks: "I am currently working on developing a game and I want to use OpenAL for the sound. I have downloaded the SDK and currently have it working with Dev-C++. The reference documentation that comes with the SDK is good but it leaves something to be desired. What I would like to know is has anyone here on Slashdot ever done any sound programming with OpenAL and if so what resources did you use to get yourself started?"

    SDL has licensing issues. You can't use it for a commercial application since you'd have to include your source code. Thus, it's not of much use unless you are just trying to learn the basics of game development.
