Still not voice of music though right?  After that genbuffers line put
this instead of the alGetError():

printf("%s:%d - %s", __FILE__, __LINE__, alGetString( alGetError() );"

That will tell us why genbuffers is failing.  It should only be one of
two errors, MAX_AL_BUF is too small (not, it's 4) or it's an out of
memory error.  You could try making MAX_AL_BUF be 2 and see if that
changes anything.  I've been holding off on suggesting this but you
could try an older OpenAL too.  Grab the installer off of Creative's
site and see if it's giving you the same errors.

Don't worry about the update_listener thing, I have just never updated
it with newer code.  The new code doesn't work right and I don't like
putting known broken stuff in CVS so I've been holding off on it.  I'm
putting a bit more effort in to get it working though since FS2_Open
needs it too.

I just put that fix (hopefully) in CVS so get an update and see if
helps.  It will also give a similar report for OpenAL which I think will
be rather useful in the future.  If it's still messing up let me know.
