Best (feature-wise and well-maintained) open source 3D audio API. It can be implemented into new games, existing OpenAL games by replacing the built-in DLL or even old DirectSound3D games to restore EAX and 3D audio without needing a proprietary (like Creative) sound card.

What is OpenAL Soft?

OpenAL Soft is an LGPL-licensed, cross-platform, software implementation of the OpenAL 3D audio API. It's forked from the open-sourced Windows version available originally from openal.org's SVN repository (now defunct). OpenAL provides capabilities for playing audio in a virtual 3D environment. Distance attenuation, doppler shift, and directional sound emitters are among the features handled by the API. More advanced effects, including air absorption, occlusion, and environmental reverb, are available through the EFX extension. It also facilitates streaming audio, multi-channel buffers, and audio capture.
