I think this is perfectly fine, and it's the philosophy of SDL, I  
thought it was bugged or anything.

I will go with OpenAL as it's a bit like OpenGL, and I'm very  
comfortable with OpenGL.

But as Chris said in it's earlier email, I will play with mixer a  
bit, to get comfortable with sounds.

Thanks for your input.
