From the linked text...
OpenAL is useful mostly for games and multimedia where you want
3D positional audio to be rendered in a realistic fashion. Some
soundcards provide various speakers to do so, others use special
filters to simulate the direction where the sound comes from.
The latter works specially good using headphones. OpenAL is like
DirectSound3D and EAX but cross platform.
Q: what is an alternative strategy if OpenAL is so "useless" ?
