- Binary package hint: libopenal-dev
+ I wish to get openal-soft into main
  
- Hi
- I wish to get libopenal-dev into main,this is due to the following reasons
- * We will be packaging gluon for kdegames ( already in main ) which has a build dep on libopenal-dev,thus libopenal-dev has a indirect dep on kdegames
- * The package meets all the requirements listed at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMainInclusionRequirements
+ It is needed by kdegames to get sound in games like kgoldrunner
  
-  Description: Software implementation of the OpenAL API (development files)
-  OpenAL, the Open Audio Library, is a joint effort to create an open,
-  vendor-neutral, cross-platform API for interactive, primarily spatialized
-  audio. OpenAL's primary audience are application developers and desktop
-  users that rely on portable standards like OpenGL, for games and other
-  multimedia applications.
-  .
-  This library is meant as a compatible update/replacement to the OpenAL Sample
-  Implementation (the SI). The SI has been unmaintained for quite a while, and
-  would require a lot of work to clean up. This is a fork the old Windows version
-  to attempt an accelerated ALSA version of an OpenAL implementation.
-  .
-  OpenAL Soft supports mono, stereo, 4-channel, 5.1, 6.1, and 7.1 output, as
-  opposed to the SI's 4-channel max (though it did have some provisions for 6
-  channel, this was not 5.1, and was seemingly a "late" addition). OpenAL Soft
-  does not support the Vorbis and MP3 extensions, however those were considered
-  deprecated even in the SI. It does, though, support some of the newer
-  extensions like AL_EXT_FLOAT32 and AL_EXT_MCFORMATS for multi-channel and
-  floating-point formats, as well as ALC_EXT_EFX for environmental audio effects,
-  and others.
+ * The package meets all the requirements listed at
+ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMainInclusionRequirements
