I also asked that question somewhere else here but it seemed to get missed also.
All DirectX based sound gets fully procesed by Windows Vista and Windows 7 in the Kernel, so Soundengines based on DirectX DirectSound or DirectX DirectSound3D (<- yes there is a difrence) are Unusable for the Sound Hardware, wich means No SoundHardware Effects and Acceleration.
With OpenAL that does not happen so you do get Full Soundhardware Acceleration and Effects in Windows Vista and Windows 7.
So the question still stands, is the game gonna use DirectX based sound or OpenAL based sound?
