OpenAL is an audio library designed in the spirit of OpenGL--machine independent, cross platform, and data format neutral with a clean, simple C-based API.
OpenAL provides capabilities for playing audio in a virtual 3D environment. Distance attenuation, doppler shift, and directional sound emitters are among the features handled by the API. More advanced effects, including air absorption, occlusion, and environmental reverb, are available through the EFX extension. It also facilitates streaming audio, multi-channel buffers, and audio capture.
OpenAL Soft is an LGPL-licensed, cross-platform, software implementation of the OpenAL API.
