Maybe after this blueprint is completed, we should consider switching to SDL audio?
SDL audio supports wav, mp3 and ogg and we don't need to mess with bunch of dependencies (openal, freealut, ogg, vorbis, etc) and maintain platform differences.

OpenAL is needed for spacial audio. But if SDL_audio can help with loading of audio into buffers that might help.
