We just had a discussion on fedora-games: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-games-list/2007-December/msg00017.html Basically OpenAL has been overlooked in the whole Pulseaudio integration project. (and hell, ALSA integration) It defaults to OSS, and has been since the beginning. Which doesn't work. It also does not work with Pulse's ALSA redirection. SDL works. The consensus was to make OpenAL default to using SDL in F8+. (It also needs to default to ALSA in F7-) A bug was filed, and it seems there is an update in testing: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=420991 So basically, anything using OpenAL is going to start needing SDL (but not SDL_mixer) very soon. The list of things needing OpenAL, just looking at my own systems, includes: rss-glx openarena blender quake3 secondlife
