Replace OpenAL/EAX library with OpenAL soft

Open xycaleth opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

The OpenAL/EAX usage on Windows is still using the Creative OpenAL implementation which is not compatible with GPL. This should be replaced with openal-soft and EAX possibly replaced with the EFX extension (some [possibly out of date] information about that here https://github.com/kcat/openal-soft/issues/62)

OpenAL Soft recently gained native support for the EAX extensions, see https://github.com/kcat/openal-soft/pull/632. This might make porting EAX effects to EFX unnecessary.

Does it support working with a replacement eaxmanager binary? Which handles the parsing of eal files

I think parsing .eal files is the responsibility of the application rather than OpenAL Soft. How it's done probably doesn't matter as far as OpenAL Soft is concerned.
