openal: set rate near failed

[ilna]

I have tried two apps depending from openal, and got the same error at both cases:

AL lib: alsa.c:637: set rate near failed: Invalid argument

For the fist app (speed-dreams) it is a showstopper, the second one (bitfighter) just goes without sound.

!!The problem is introduced after upgrading from Karmic to Lucid.

OpenAL 1.11 is a bit old (like this bug report), I'm going to ask that you retry with the latest 1.14 release to see if you have the same problem.

This was likely fixed in >= 1.12, but not sure where. I just tested with latest: 1.14 using speed-dreams to test:
