I'm familiar with it, given that we use it for our MacOS, BeOS and Linux
games =)  I avoided it early on because it was faster for me to just
write up my own stuff (where I controlled the abstractions) instead of
becoming dependent on a third party.  If I had to do it all over again I
may have gone 100% SDL though.

I have no aversion to using open source software -- we use Ogg Vorbis,
Lua, Zlib, and IJG (JPG)-- but I try to do so only when there's a very
compelling reason to do so.  Integrating OpenAL or SDL into our main
source trunk will probably take longer than just writing an audio mixer.
