OpenAL Soft 1.20.1 is now available:
https://openal-soft.org/
A relatively small but still worthwhile update, adding some of the
intended features mentioned last time as well as bugfixes and
improvements. Notably, HRTFs are resampled on load as needed, so you
don't need MHR files for specific device sample rates. There is also a
new hrtf-size config option to limit the HRTF filter length, preventing
it from being larger than desired.
Additionally, a potential internal voice leak was fixed, along with
device reset errors with the JACK backend. The WASAPI backend has been
improved to handle less-common speaker layouts too, so output
configurations that previously wouldn't work will now try to get at
least stereo output.
There are a couple new extensions to extend support for Direct Channels
(remixing so input channels without a matching output aren't completely
lost) and B-Format (to recognize ACN, SN3D, and N3D, in addition to
FuMa). More information on that is here:
<https://openal-soft.org/openal-extensions/SOFT_direct_channels_remix.txt>
<https://openal-soft.org/openal-extensions/SOFT_bformat_ex.txt>
See the Changelog or the main page for a more complete list of changes.
Work is continuing on for the other bigger features mentioned last time.
Please get in touch either here or via the GitHub issue tracker if you
run into any problems, or have ideas for any planned or all-new
features. Thanks!
