Unfortunately, AL_BYTE_OFFSET (and AL_SAMPLE_OFFSET and AL_SEC_OFFSET) were
not supported in the last release of the sample implementation. The only way
to fix it is to either get the SVN version, or more preferrably, use OpenAL
Soft (which better conforms to the AL spec):

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 or 9.04?
