314	OpenAL device does not work on OS X	nieder		"configure is not set to find openal on OS X.

The fix for the linker check is easy: add ""-Wl,-framework,OpenAL"" to the list of flags to check

{{{
-enabled openal     && { { for al_libs in ""${OPENAL_LIBS}"" ""-lopenal"" ""-lOpenAL32""; do
+enabled openal     && { { for al_libs in ""${OPENAL_LIBS}"" ""-lopenal"" ""-lOpenAL32"" ""-Wl,-framework,OpenAL""; do
}}}

I don't know how to fix the header check to look for multiple possibilities, but on OS X the header in the OpenAL framework is found in OpenAL/al.h (not AL/al.h like in linux).  If I change the header check in configure and the includes in libavdevice/openal-dec.c, the build and linkage works well.

However, running 'ffmpeg -f openal' as suggested in the manual fails with an malloc error, so this might just not be doable on OS X.
