The only obvious thing which FMOD (trivially) handles for us which
OpenAL doesn't, is net-streamed music.

That could be replaced by libcurl hacks or something like ezstream.
However, I'm currently working on integrating GStreamer support
into the client for streaming video as an alternative to QuickTime,
which would then be pretty easy to adapt to also use as a replacement
streaming audio implementation (with bonus reliable vorbis support,
etc).  At least for unixers...
