[Bf-committers] No Sound in BGE on OSX, Can someone update dep's?

[Jorge Bernal]

Hi Campbell,

At this moment Openal-soft only works in Mac OS X (intel & PPC) through
PortAudio library. To avoid install another new library with blender,
several month ago in the GIT repository of Openal-Soft there was a SDL
backend:
http://repo.or.cz/w/openal-soft.git?a=commit;h=7ebb28327f8e5fb91e3b0808f2782bf2f2e15341

This backend worked perfectly but it was removed due to compile problems
(under some linux installations Cmake can't find SDL libraries).
Therefore, If we add again this backend with the last release of Openal-soft
then we can avoid the Portaudio library requirement.

I can supply an OpenAl-soft release with the SDL backend included but
someone will have to compile it because I don't have a Mac.

Regards,
lordloki
