Although I've found that you can't use an .openalrc file telling it to 
use alsa, like so:

(define speaker-num 2)
(define devices '(alsa))
(define alsa-out-device "hw:0,0")
(define alsa-in-device "hw:0,0")

This is on the Nforce2 chipset. I've tried different "hw:0,0" variables 
but they don't work.  The .openalrc file gave me about a 5 fps boost, 
but I can live without it for voip.
