[new] OpenAL hardware accelerated for SB Live!/Audigy

I made this package as an alternative to the openAL package in stable.  I use it instead.  It's got some nice pre-set speaker arrangements for positional 3D audio.  As far as I know, it's for Sound Blaster compatible hardware only.  I tried it out, and you can really hear the spatial effects in those games that use openAL.  It works well with my SB Live! 5.1 surround system.

pkgname=openal-alsa-emu10k1
pkgver=1.2
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Hardware accelerated version of OpenAL for the SB Live!/Audigy cards."
url="http://www.lost.org.uk/openal.html"
depends=('alsa-lib')
conflicts=('openal')
source=(http://www.lost.org.uk/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
