Is it possible? I am wanting to add some sound functionality to one particular component of a large component-based system. Some of the existing infrastructure uses DirectSound, but it is completely encapsulated in its own little world and I have no access to it. Are there any issues that could become problematic for me if I use OpenAL for my new stuff in conjunction with DS in the other stuff? I thought I'd ask before I put to much energy into it.

Just in case anyone ever finds this thread while asking the same question, I have had no problems so far. My sound library is using OpenAL and it is coexisting fine with DirectSound in the same process.
