OpenAL

OpenAL is an vendor neutral, C based audio API designed to be used in portable applications, in particular multimedia applications that also use OpenGL.

Process

At present, the OpenAL requirements and design document are being hashed out among a small group of developers in order to assemble a Final Draft of the Specification of the API Revision 1.0. The specification is maintained in the DocBook format, with output generated as postscript and HTML. The CVS version 1.6 is provided here in two renderings, one which provides the specification, reference, and annotation, the other including RFC's and additional commentary. The SGML source code is also provided.

Documents

The latest revision of the SGML source is always available in the OpenAL CVS.

Source Code

The SDKs (possibly illegally posted) are bundled from their exploded Win32 installs. This is because those of us using non-Win32 platforms can't open the "convenient" archives used by the IHV.
