Thank you for the information,
Is this what you used in TORCS?
I could not find the TORCS mailing list thread that Steve referred to.
Was the sound-synth discussion on torcs-devel sf list? What year?

I tried out the TORCS debian packages yesterday.
Although the engine sound is better than what I came up with, it is far 
from perfect. If I use the CVS TORCS with the OpenAL hack, will it sound 
better?

thanks,
