Just tested demo. Nice.
But i have question, are you using OpenAL statically linked?

i'm just asking because i've tried to remove libopenal* from my
/usr/lib/
and demo started just fine saying that it initialized openal driver successfully ... and the sound was working

Yeah, that should break the sound. If I remove the OpenAL package on the dev box here it breaks. It is supposed to fall back on default sound if OpenAL fails to initialize- that is probably what it is doing, but then sending the wrong message out suggesting that OpenAL was initialized properly when it was actually the default sound driver.

I'll check it out.
