100% agreed that OpenAL should be last on the list on Linux - it just adds latency there. On the other hand, it's probably a better solution than DSound on Windows (OpenAL may be accelerated on some chips). No 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).
