Hey guys&girls,

I've decided to make sound system in my OpenGL engine, but I got one problem: OpenAL is old, ( 1.1 version files were created 2006 ). OpenAL 2.1 is not available anymore. OpenAL soft is non-commerical. Is it fine to use 1.1 version in "this" time? Or are there any "free-to-use" sound libraries for game engines?

Thanks in advance.

FMOD offers a free license for indie games with a budget under $100k.
If you prefer to have source access you could also take look at libraries like PortAudio or the audio part of SDL.

OpenAL soft is non-commerical.

Um, no? Its LGPL, link to it dynamically and use it. That's it. If you want to sell the product of that or not, its up to you.

I tried PortAudio but I have no idea how to make 3d sound ( lol ). I think I will stick to OpenAL some time. I got "left-right front-rear" working. Thanks for tips!

NekoCode is OpenAL good in your opinion?

Reliable?
