The Readme's should get you there, but there can be a few glitches, 
depending on how you do the install.  The biggest problem you might face is
that OpenAL is kind of in a state of transition now (OpenAL 1.0 to 1.1 spec,
and a Subversion repository instead of CVS), so some of the less recent 
documentation may be incorrect.

I can probably help you out if you tell me exactly how you downloaded and 
compiled OpenAL and ALUT, and what exactly is going wrong with it.

The work is being done.  It's just a slow process because it's a community-
driven project and the Linux community is still fairly small.
