[openal] some beginner questions

[Victorious]

I switched to using the version 1.2 on the main website,. Cmake said I had ogg and libsndfile support, and I was able to compile it. 

However, when I test the alureplay.exe example with a .ogg file, it says that the format isn't supported. I've pasted the following dll into the alureplay.exe folder: alure32.dll (from compilation), libogg.dll, libsndfile-1.dll, libvorbis.dll and libvorbisfile.dll. Are there any dlls/files I'm missing that's causing .ogg playback to fail?

Bump.

I've tried rebuilding allure from the git repo, without telling cmake about PhysicsFS and libsndfile. I get exactly the same errors. Using vs2013.

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.
