Missing / not found OpenAL libraries after lucia installation

[JessicaTegner]

When lucia has been installed and someone tries to use the OpenAL audio backend it complains about missing the required libraries (dylib, so, dlls).

I've seen this both when trying to setup travis-ci, ReadTheDocs and while running the tests after a fresh installation. But the strange thing is, that we are setting the PYAL_DLL path, so it should work.

import os
import platform

os_bit, os_name = platform.architecture()
os.environ["PYAL_DLL_PATH"] = os.path.join(
    os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)), "lib", os_bit
)

And the dlls are placed in the correct folder, so don't know what's really going on here.

Is it possile to provide the traceback?

This was the error we got from ag.net

As it turned out the error the build was getting was not related to the traceback showed above. I'm going to close this issue since I believe that on platforms that have all devices installed this error is not occurring any more. Should I be proved wrong the issue will be reopened.
