Description Willie Sippel 2004-12-06 03:53:46 UTC
The summary says it all. I think 32bit OpenAL support is at least as important as the included 
32bit Jack support...
Gish (a game by Chronic Logic, shareware), for example, needs OpenAL.

Reproducible: Always

Question: Jason, Travis: Shall we incorporate this ?

I strongly vote for _no_, as the emul-* packages are meant for basic needs. We
can't put every existing library into a binary package for 32bit compatiblity.

Willie: If you need this library, i' suggest using the 32bit chroot howtos.
You can thus build yourself a 32bit environment and use its libraries as a compatibility layer in your 64 bit environment.
Comment 2 Willie Sippel 2004-12-16 03:46:56 UTC
I don't like the idea of using a chroot just to use small and basic 
libraries like OpenAL. I currently use OpenAL from a RH 9.0 RPM, and 
I consider OpenAL a basic library, since quite a few recent Linux 
games need it - and the number is increasing I think.

Anyway, I personally don't mind if you keep it out, since I know how 
to deal with it. But I think it would be convenient for quite a few 
users if it where included...

Added to emul-linux-x86-sdl-2.1, as it depends on libSDL - FIXED.
