Current trend:
Veteran: I hit this stuff and nonsense.
Kids, Gamers: Yes, Yes, Yes.

You can try tell Your Information Technology chief:
Now we have 2000 workstations, tomorrow 1000. Incredible.

Mailing lists is for gibbering and communication.

Terminology troubles.
I mean flexible configuration like:
wolfmp +set snddevice /dev/dsp2
or
wolfmp +set gl_driver /usr/lib/my_strange_GL.so

One voluntary (not me) compile ALSA and my pacth straight into
kernel and report "All fine".

I recompile OpenAL. In the openal source I change sound device.
Now for freespace2 I set different
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/openal-dsp
or
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/openal-dsp2

This will not work for UT. Seems UT check MD5 for their openal.so
