I have been shopping around openal, directsound and last tried fmod and its a blast. However, If someone would care to write a source manager for openal to enable more "plug and play" then it would be equaly nice for my uses. however, i just want 3d sounds, not the hazzle and it took me 1 hour to get the functionality from fmod that couldnt get going from a few days work with openal. I'm no coder shark, so abstraction is nice

Not to say the least, the documentation for fmod and the support is HUGE...
