Things we can probably handle:
Things we can maybe handle:
Might be doable, but could be painful:
Things we likely can't handle, or would take a lot of work, needs external dependencies or complex data formats, needs things SDL doesn't provide, or would simply be difficult to do reasonably in a single-file OpenAL implementation:
extensions: Added AL_EXT_32bit_formats.
extensions: Implemented ALC_EXT_thread_local_context.
extensions: Implemented AL_EXT_source_distance_model.

+1 to
AL_SOFT_callback_buffer, as it allows user code to correctly synchronize real-time audio and video.MIvanchev commentedon Apr 19, 2026
I am too voting for
AL_SOFT_callback_buffer, with SDL3 it shouldn't even be that much work I guess.extensions: Implemented AL_SOFT_callback_buffer.

Your wish is my command! :)
I made an attempt at this, and added tests/testcallbackbuffer.c to try it out, but please try it with your own code and report back if I messed something up!

Thank you so much!

Thank you, I'm not in a position to test it, my request was that so DragonRuby could make the callback public to C extensions so I could use it as a sink to my emulator's audio.
