I believe the OpenAL dependency was removed from the DVD installer with the 2.05 installer. Unfortunately, this does nothing for already pressed DVDs, but then that's only fixable by maintaining binary compatibility at the distro level. Users can download the latest DVD installer from the net

It's not really a stand-off; we (LR, the company that makes X-Plane) have patched X-Plane to dynamically detect either libopenal.so.0 or 1 so that we will run without user mods on any distribution (including older distros that haven't made this change). It is only the older LR products that are

Ah - thank you for the symbol list! From the decorations (and names) it looks these symbols are all OpenAL extensions...except for alBufferAppendData, which appears to have been (incorrectly?!?) exported as a non-decorated symbol too. One document from 2001 referes to the "well-documented" al

For what it's worth, no one ever posted a clear explanation of _why_ the .so major version was bumped to this bug. Given that users continue to work around this by sym-linking, it certainly _appears_ that the ABI of OpenAL is unchanged. Can anyone point to at least one routine in the ABI that was

Hi Everyone, I am the other Linux guy...first, to be clear: Regardless of what happens with any distro, we (LR) have altered our OpenAL support to dynamically load either version of libopenal in our master code - over time all "live" apps will end up supporting either distro. MarĂ³y, the next

Hi, We have programmed the 930 beta of X-Plane to look for BOTH libopenal .so.1 and .so.0, because half the distros we support have changed the lib version and half have not. We continue to want to know (and still have not been told) in what way the ABI changed that warranted a reversioning of

Hi Y'all, Could someone please tell me what binary functionality has been changed/removed from libopenal with this change? I understand that the implementation has been changed radically. But OpenAL is an API for general access to abstract sound hardware. So...what _can't_ I do with libopenal.so
