Currently there are only ebuilds for the outdated, unmaintained Sample Implementation for OpenAL, the last release of which being over a year old with no new releases in sight. However, there are other, more up-to-date and better maintained implementations available.. such as OpenAL Soft <http://kcat.strangesoft.net/openal.html>. There is also OpenAL-ALSA <http://dino.e4a.it/openal-alsa/>, however I can't vouch for its current status. Many developers are having a difficult time dealing with the latest Sample Implementation release, its bugs and inefficiency with no improvement for it in sight.. some having to ask their users to manually compile and install alternative implementations, others just living with the bugs, and others abandoning OpenAL entirely. These alternative implementations are API and ABI compatible with any app that properly follows the OpenAL spec, and I've personally had nothing but positive results for using OpenAL Soft, in particular, as a drop-in replacement for the Sample Implementation. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
So write them, attach and some developer will have a look (or not, depending on time constraints and interest in such alternatives.) "I need ebuilds" won't get you very far I'm afraid.
Created attachment 142409 [details] OpenAL Soft 1.2.218 ebuild Okay, here's an ebuild for OpenAL Soft 1.2.218. Credit goes to Jouni Kosonen for making it. However, there are still some issues. The last SI release used libopenal.so.0, while its SVN version and OpenAL Soft use libopenal.so.1. Packages that built against the older lib will need to be rebuilt, and I don't know much about ebuilds to print a warning for users about that. Also that current packages that use OpenAL depend on media-libs/openal, which is the SI and can't be installed with OpenAL Soft (they both use libopenal.so and AL/al.h and AL/alc.h). Something like virtual/openal is needed so a user can use the lib of their choice.
This ebuild worked for me, and the packages I rebuilt to use it worked beautifully too. I expect most if not all packages depending on media-libs/openal-0.0.8 could be switched to virtual/openal-1.1 with this as the preference. OpenAL 0.0.8 lacks quite a bit and is now over 2 years since their last release (2006/02/11). There is some progress in svn but there's no prospect for a new release anytime soon. I volunteer to help with testing existing packages for migration to virtual/openal-1.1
Created attachment 144385 [details] media-libs/openal-soft-1.3.253.ebuild current version of openal-soft I think, that is need to rename media-libs/openal to media-libs/openal-sample, add media-libs/openal-soft, virtual/openal and possibly app-admin/eselect-openal to select profiles (such as OpenGL)
This also works great. Below is the diff between the two ebuilds, it's fairly trivial. 33c33 < !use debug || myconf="${myconf} -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug" --- > use debug && myconf="${myconf} -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug" I'll repeat that we need this. The version of openal we have in portage right now has numerous bugs and lacks some rather basic OpenAL 1.1 extensions such device enumeration.
I heard rumors that OpenAL Soft will replace OpenAL SI sooner or later. So the eselect issue could solve itself in the near future. But the Creative comes with an own implementation, too...
Created attachment 144969 [details] Slightly changed ebuild. Slightly changed ebuild, installs as "media-libs/openal" so no virtual thing is required, but also is a bit cleaned up. ${PN}-${PV} in the original ebuild should be replaced by ${P}. Patch to highlight the changes follows.

That ebuild was more to allow for quick testing, than to be the final solution for Gentoo. ;-) But I hope my audit of the ebuild (see the diff) was not in vain and is usefull for the final solution, too.
This is great. The new ebuild finally makes alsa sound work for games/programs that use openal (blender, flightgear, glest). Of course I had to recompile them, but now I don't need to load the oss modules any more. This is a good improvement and I hope to see this version in portage ASAP.
Created attachment 157061 [details] media-libs/openal-1.4.272.ebuild Version 1.4.272
Any modifications besides incrementing the version number?
Also added support for custom CFLAGS (defined in /etc/make.conf) ;)
FYI: I have compiled games-sports/torcs (and media-libs/plib) against this openal-1.4.272 successfully, however performance went down drastically (in comparison to openal-0.8.2-r2 over aoss).

With disabled sound it has 18 FPS, with openal-1.3.253 6 FPS and with plib over aoss about 12 FPS. FPS with openal-0.8.2-r2 over aoss is about 15. Just for compleness the game is linked against openal and freealut which is linked against openal. I don't know where the problem is exactly, but I think making virtual openal with few alternative implemetations would be more friendly for some user (me) :D

What if you use the OSS driver, or disable ALSA mmap? Some cards get really bad performance issues with mmap in ALSA if the frequency isn't set to something specific (I've personally had this occur with mplayer on my SB Live card, but my current built-in chipset doesn't suffer from it). To use the OSS driver by default, you can add this to ~/.alsoftrc: [general] drivers = oss,alsa or to disable ALSA mmap, add: [alsa] mmap = off

I have integrated AC97 (VT82C686). However switching off mmap in ~/.alsoftrc helped in this case. Now the performance with ALSA output is about 16--17 FPS which is really good. Tanks o lot.
Created attachment 157743 [details] media-libs/openal-1.4.272.ebuild Added information about solution of performance problems.
The guys from Creative now only mention OpenAl Soft for Download <http://connect.creativelabs.com/openal/Downloads/Forms/AllItems.aspx> on the *NIX platform. So I suppose that the here supplied ebuilds (great work, thanks!) should succeed the buggy OpenAl-SI in the portage tree.
I can only confirm this once more: This version here is much better that the one currently in Portage and it would be great to see an update in this regard.
(In reply to comment #9) > Try to reemerge games-action/cromium with openal-soft instead openal installed > ;-) > Some programs need to be patched before using openal-soft Building Chromium should work with the GIT/SVN version of OpenAL Soft, now. Are there any other apps that fail to build or run properly? I hope to get out OpenAL Soft 1.5 some time this week.
I have compiled and run flightgear simulator against openal soft successfully. (I'm sorry about no version information, I have no access to the system now.)

Just tried this ebuild (1.5.304) in x86_64: OpenAL builds fine. Games build fine and have sound (tested with Spring RTS).
This ebuild just solved problems for me emerging several packages.
This works for me, too, except scorched3d: Scorched3d configure wants openal-config which apparently only came with openal-0.0.8. But warzone2100, chromium, supertuxkart, and torcs all compiled fine. I've only tested Warzone2100 Supertuxkart ingame so far.
openal-1.5.304.ebuild committed, thanks for your contributions!
