OpenAL

author: OpenAL community

OpenAL is a cross-platform 3D audio API used in games and other interactive applications. Its core model is based on a listener, sources, and buffers, allowing sound objects to be rendered in spatial relation to a virtual listening position. The project positions itself as a vendor-neutral, open API for real-time positional audio workflows.
