Just to add to the information, on Mac things are currently a bit  
messed up due to Apple being diligent about following the OpenAL 1.1  
spec, but then not providing the matching ALUT 1.1. There's various  
solutions to this: the one I've gone with is to roll an ALUT.framework  
(similar to the GLUT framework) using the freealut-1.1 source tarball.  
If anyone wants a copy of this beastie, just shout (it's tiny, of  
course).

Using it needs some SimGear patches which are not committed, but which  
are pretty trivial.

Tatsuhiro has another solution I believe, which works equally well /  
badly I think.
