Hello. I've been using irrKlang for some time now, but with continual bugs, strange behavior and a more or less unacceptable stance on memory management I'm looking for a replacement if I can find one that's not significantly more painful to use. (I'm done arguing with Gebhardt about ISoundSource management...) If push comes to shove I could go back to using a libsndfile and some mp3 decoder, but I'd really prefer an all-in-one package with support for common formats (wav, mp3, ogg) if there's a free one poking around. I'd really appreciate any suggestions.

It's free to use. The License is embedded in the documentation.

There are ten kinds of people in this world: those who understand binary and those who don't.

The OpenAL License must be distributed along with final application?

That's not uncommon. They just want you to drop the text file in there somewhere so people don't think you invented OpenAL.

OpenAL is widely used but I found it quite difficult if you just want to use it in a simple way (i.e. simple BGM and sfx).

I used FMod before and it is a delight to use, but I used it in a non-commercial project so it was free. If you can afford it I would say 100% FMOD.

Isn't there an SDL audio library of some description? Not sure how relevant or useful that will be but perhaps worth a quick look?

I ended up with FMOD, yeah. It's really nice and does what I want without being intrusive or annoying.
