Second Life is not truly free until it stops depending on closed source
libraries. FMOD needs to die. OpenAL is the way to go, OpenAL is well
supported on Windows (Its the only hardware accelerated API available in
Vista!), Mac OS X (Ships in Tiger) and of course, Linux. OpenAL can
fully replace fmod on all supported platforms.

I guess I'll take a whack at writing OpenAL support if no one else does.
