version 1.1.2 of the aureal drivers using AU8830 chip
causes select errors. Most notably.. any Loki games
like Unreal and SOF. They are using the OpenAL sound
lib for audio.

Those games work just fine with version 1.1.1.

    Currently, Loki is recommending that users downgrade to
    version 1.1.1 of the Aureal drivers for OpenAL compatibility:

    Does anyone know if there are plans to fix this? It would
    be really nice if I could have sound in Unreal Tournament.

    Thanks very much...

    This was fixed in CVS by patch 407654. Unreal Tournament
    and Soldier of Fortune both work on my system (RH 7.3, Vortex2).

    The admins really should make a 1.1.3 release with this patch.

    As a side note, SOF and UT use a private OpenAL library.
    Don't try to use, say, 0.0.6, because the interface has
    changed; e.g., alGenStreamingBuffers ->
    alGenStreamingBuffers_LOKI.
