I'd suggest poking around the openal soft website for more info http://kcat.strangesoft.net/openal.html

Well, I cannot explicitly select OpenAL there, but it seems to work fine (i.e. sound is working). In my hpl.log (nice filename by the way ;-) ) it says:

Those options are the devices available to OpenAL.. The game ONLY uses OpenAL for audio. (and HPL is the name of the engine.. Presumably after HP Lovecraft )

Presumably you should be able to build the Creative OpenAL 1.1 SDK they are working on (which I believe have REAL hardware support for you card). you can get that at http://openal.org/ But you are on your own in compiling itSmile If it works let me know.. I may re-visit the Creative OpenAL implementation again. Though I believe most current linux games are shipping with the OpenALSoft implementation now, as Creative only this summer updated their implementation.
