Ok, I build the CVS version from openal.org (Linux_Spec1-0 tag), and 
it's ok now :)
Anyway, that's strange, because the version of openal in Debian is 
tagged 0.20050806, so it must be a recent version (maybe, a _too_ recent 
version, as you notice above ... ?)

Ok, that's what I wanted to hear ;) So, fs2_open is like a testing 
ground for Icculus version, am I correct ?

Let's see what this fs2_open thing looks like :p
