ArcLib / Yage (where the base code of ArcLib openAL module came from) 
will allow you to get quickly set up using OpenAL. It's the difference 
between writing

openal.sound.open();

SoundFX snd = new SoundFX("file.ogg / wav");
snd.play();

openal.sound.process();

versus writing 500 lines of code yourself to accomplish the same thing.

You don't have to use ArcLib, just grab the zlib/png licensed openal 
module, modify it, and use it in your own project. ;)
