While there's no VoIP in Postal2, this _should_ work with the game to
get you real surround sound on appropriate hardware...but I haven't
tried it.
Postal2 generates a lot of OpenAL buffers at startup, which crashed my
AL implementation until I made some fixes, so no promises this will work
there off the bat, either.
I _would_ like to ship Postal2 with Apple's OpenAL, though, so dropping
this openal.dylib in there and testing is appreciated.
