Indeed, AFAIK, most m68k machines out there can do that out of the box.

I'm not sure that's really all that important? I've never used any such
card, but OpenAL has been working nicely for me on powerpc, amd64 and
i386. I suspect the real questions are
* Do m68k machines typically have enough horse power for OpenAL to
reasonably mix the stereo stream?
* Do m68k machines typically meet the other requirements of games
that use OpenAL? In particular, most if not all of them seem to
require 3D acceleration.
