Believe whatever you want but the ioq3 installer doesn't do any dirty tricks.
It contains openal-soft cleanly compiled from source.

no need getting hostile,


then I understand the problem, OpenAL-Soft is an implementation that does not
let OpenAL correctly route data to the appropriate sound card openal dll for
Spatial Audio processing and that's not necessarily good since that keeps
people with cards able to process Binaural effects such as the X-Fi cards (and
in Realtek in an experimental fashion) through their own openal
implementations.

By compiling OpenAL-soft you get a utility to list devices, it lists
DirectSoftware several devices but in ioquake3, only a general 'DirectSoftware'
is used, could it be that somehow it needs to choose specific devices?
