I am using OpenALSoft for quite a while already in Linux for my project
and decided to move on from Creatives OpenAL Version to OpenALSoft in
Windows too. I avoided it so far because it seemed to run flawlessly and
it was able to initialize the (Creative) Hardware directly. Now that I
switched people are afraid of losing hardware acceleration. I know
OpenALSoft initializes DSound and WinMM but I have honestly no idea
about how much these are can benefit from any hardware acceleration
provided by a soundcard.
Are there any charts, further information, comparisons or whatever to
compare that? Is there even a difference in the end? I was not able to
find a measurable quantity so far, but to appease the people I'd love to
know more about that topic if possible.
Thanks,
Smirftsch
