100% agreed that OpenAL should be last on the list on Linux - it just

idea about Macs, but it should be pretty well supported there.

It's directly supported by Apple's audio subsystem.
Not to mention it's the only audio interface we have on OS X. That's fine though, there's nothing to be gained by having an extra Core Audio driver, since OpenAL works properly on OS X (unlike Linux, it seems).
