„The decision is not that easy” is a lame excuse IMHO. Why exactly do they have
„unstable” and „experimental” if not to test decisions. If everybody just
cowardly rejects openal-soft, then I foresee the following:
1) OpenAL-soft upstream won't get enough attention, upstream won't maintain it
anymore.
2) Linux won't stand a chance as a gaming platform, due to bad 3D sound libraries.
I don't know what Canonical's future plans are, but if they want to gain market
share, they will have to make Ubuntu a more attractive gaming platform.
