No, do not want.

I use the openal provider as its better on Creative cards. you may as well be removing the entire Audio core as far as i care.

and btb, OpenAL is supported on ALL sound driver since 2006.

Maybe I'm not supposed to comment here, but here I go.

Â

Speaking of the windows build I can't say a word, but speaking of the Linux one I can say OpenAL work great. On previous svn versions (svn 928, to be more precise), sound was "cracky" and tended to sound "dirty", but now that I recently compiled svn 945 with OpenAL on my Fedora 11 sound is great, not flawless as I'm having some issues, but it sure is more "clean".

Â

The idea of using plugins for audio, video, joystick has it's pros and cons, myself, prefer an "all included" emulator, instead of using plugins for everything. I think of some specific builds, with this or that sound interface or with this or that video or input (joystick), so the user can select a specific and personalized version at compile time. But maybe it mean more work to do.

Â

Again, thanks a lot for this great emu!
