Yeah, I'd assume that:

al_create_bitmap(0, display, 100, 100, AL_COLOR_8_8_8_8)

Would create a texture in the GL context of the specified display and
choose some GL_RGBA format. (If we go by the current display idea
instead of explicit display parameters, it will use the current
display/opengl context, and no display parameters is needed.)
