Transition from openal (SI) to openal-soft library

[Andres Mejia <mcitadel@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

Before I write to all the package maintainers for packages that use openal, I 
would like to see openal-soft get uploaded to the archive.

The openal upstream are well aware of the OpenAL Soft library. In fact, the 
openal upstream have virtually considered the SI deprecated and recommend the 
OpenAL Soft library in favor of the SI. Here are some links.
