Tchernobog 0.10/0.11 OpenAL32.dll got INTERNALLY references to Creative CT_OAL.DLL and Audigy/X-Fi cards.

This is the root of all audio problems with Creative soundcards.

Please, fix this mess (using directly OpenAL Soft: http://kcat.strangesoft.net/openal.html )

A simple (dirty) fix for existing installations is to rename "wrap_oal.dll" to "ct_oal.dll" on Creative (Audigy/X-Fi) equipped systems.

Kinda weird, i'm using X-Fi XtremeMusic and there's not any problems. At least not that i know of.

Is there any particular problems regarding this issue?

A lot of sounds disappear.
Forcing the generic driver (renaming it ct_oal.dll) there's no problem at all.

Must be system-specific issue, i've just changed file like you told and felt no difference.

But still, this must be fixed by author and right now we don't even know if he's still working on mod. Still i'm glad you have found temp fix.

A simple solution is to force OpenAL Soft (soft_oal.dll) use (in the next build, WHEN it will be :p ).
