[openal] some beginner questions

[Victorious]

Will HRTF be enabled automatically if the presence of a suitable .mhr is detected in the current directory?

I'm having some trouble with building allure. I've used cmake and it has detected the presence of PhysicsFS and libsndfile. When I try building the resulting visual studio solution, I get the following warning/errors:Do I have to add some of

Warning	1	warning C4820: '_wfinddata64i32_t' : '4' bytes padding added after data member '_wfinddata64i32_t::attrib'	C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\include\wchar.h	119

Is there some configuration step I missed?

Hi.

Alure should work with OpenAL Soft, as they were made by the same person 
(me) and that's what I use it against. What version of OpenAL Soft and 
Alure are you trying to use, and what's the error?

The current Git version will look in the current working directory for 
such files. So, unless the user has reconfigured where to look for the 
mhr files, you can place default-*.mhr files in the directory the app is 
run from rather than the %AppData% directory. Unfortunately there still 
isn't a way to select HRTF data sets from in the app.
