ALC_EXT_EFX and ALC_SOFT_HRTF #5
Description
Hi,
Is there any chance of these two extensions getting implemented?
- ALC_EXT_EFX provides multi-zone reverb, sound occlusion and obstruction (simulating sounds being behind doors or walls), and atmospheric air absorption.
- ALC_SOFT_HRTF provides binaural (HRTF) rendering. When used with headphones, this provides an unparalleled sense of 3D sound positioning.
Thank you

About HRTF, found an interesting example code that rotates a sound around the listener, that helped me understand the effect.
I think for HRTF in particular it would be best to split it in a separate issue which is support HRTF since OpenAL is intended for 3D positional audio, it's a relevant feature. I somewhat understand the math involved, but not really much how it would be implemented in this project in particular, since it's a single c file I don't understand much how to organize this functionality in the code itself - perhaps this would be a different codepath in the existing non-hrtf positional audio?
