Hi kkito. Thanks for your interest in improving gaming on Maemo.
Please read and follow the Brainstorm instructions so that your Brainstorm can be considered.
You might also consider giving some specific examples that don't work now that would with HW OpenAL. While i'm familiar with the library, i'm not aware of situations where the absence of it has been a problem. Are you?

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?

There's not even interest in an OpenAL HW implementation for desktop GNU/Linux (not even Creative card owners seem to have complained!), and the DSP is not used in the N900 for audio, so this is pretty much.. impossible.

Others SDK's like trhe iphoneOS SDK or Android SDK has it by default....
If nokia wants to improve the game development on the platform i think that is mandatory to support OpenAL.

Also I don't think the iPhone OpenAL is HW-accelerated (since no one does it. Apple doesn't even do it for Macs).
It is one of my "life-longs wishes" to make a desktop OpenAL HW someday (at least for emu10k1 cards).

(On a unrelated note, Google has selected OpenSL ES as their game audio API)
OpenAL Soft pretty much works on the N900 as is.

Please vote for it if you think that this feature is needed in new versions of maemo.
Thank you all!
