Description

Update the OpenAL libraries.

The current version being used is v1.21.1. The version to update should be v1.23.0. For the windows binaries, make sure to right click each file and confirm the versions.

In the project, there is a directory where you need to put the libraries for each platform. The 3 platforms are linux-64, win-x64, and win-x86.

We are not supporting win-x86 anymore. This directory can be deleted. There is also some setup in the csproj file to pack the win-x86 version of the file into the NuGet package. This can be removed. Refer to diff below.

<Target Name="AddNativeWindowLibsToNugetPackage" AfterTargets="Build" Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|AnyCPU' Or '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Release|AnyCPU'">
    <ItemGroup>
      <!--WINDOWS-->
-      <Content Include="$(ProjectDir)OpenAL\libs\win-x86\*.dll" Pack="true" PackagePath="\runtimes\win-x86\native" />
      <Content Include="$(ProjectDir)OpenAL\libs\win-x64\*.dll" Pack="true" PackagePath="\runtimes\win-x64\native" />

      <!--LINUX-->
      <Content Include="$(ProjectDir)OpenAL\libs\linux-x64\*.so*" Pack="true" PackagePath="\runtimes\linux-x64\native" />
    </ItemGroup>
  </Target>

Issue put on hold until the research results have been completed with the issue below:

• 290

The reason is because if OpenAL is replaced by RayLib, then there is no point in trying to update to the latest library

Issue put on hold until the research results have been completed with the issue below:

• 🔬Look into replacing openal with raylib #290

The reason is because if OpenAL is replaced by RayLib, then there is no point in trying to update to the latest library

Issue taken off of hold status.

Reason: The reason is that the research into the raylib replacement ended in a decision to keep using OpenAL to not lose maximum control over audio.
