Hi all,

I was wondering whether anyone had experience on using the portable audio
interfaces, openal, portaudio and SDL (or any combination of two of them)
and would be able to give me an objective comparison.
At this point, I need to create a relatively simple program that generates
some tones and outputs them as audio. So I don't really need any kind of 3D
Audio features, I do however need to be able to direct a sound to either the
left or right channel. I am trying to decide which one these libraries to
use.

Thanks in advance for any help.

RG
