What about OpenAL hardware?
This would make ogre-audiovideo entirely Software based, right?
I think OpenAL hardware is not a thing anymore. The only existing OpenAL HW accelaration seems to have existed on Creative Cards on Windows https://github.com/kcat/openal-soft/issues/692
OpenAL Soft does not provide HW accelaration and seems to merely translate to the same backends as miniaudio
Isn't this like a pretty big change?
Perhaps a new repo with a new name should be created and let's see what people want to use.
Perhaps ogre-minaudio or something like that.
I'm afraid of losing features because Chris Robins keeps develping new things for OpenAL.
it would take a preliminary port to really judge which features will be lost and whether a full port is ultimately worth it.
however, using stb_vorbis should be done first anyway as it is replaces both ogg and vorbis dependencies.
also this is a "nice to have" issue rather than something to be immediately implemented
Good idea
this would make us dependency-free, simplify build and avoid LGPL of OpenAL Soft.
