webpin openal-soft -d11.0
   7 results (4 packages) found for "openal-soft" in openSUSE_110
* openal-soft: OpenAL Soft
   - 1.2.218 [BS::home:/ickruis]

so openal-soft is not in a official repository ...
and so I don't need the patch, if you look in the spec-file the patch is 
tested and ready for build, but as openal-soft is in no official repos I 
removed it.

openal is a "Requires" in funguloids but if openal-soft is providing also 
openal this is not correct if the api is not equal....

I prefer to name exactly the requires per package. So I'm not depending on the 
right Requires of other packages. And it takes some extra work to check every 
time if a package is requireing already other packages.

that's exactly the reason: I want to use freealut.

mad is not needed, this will be corrected

of course, because I want to force exactly the openal package

I've provided Cg much longer than the OBS, so why should I follow 
always "someones" naming ideas in some repositories ?
The plugin has no so-name, so it needs not to be named according shared 
library policy. its a plugin not a shared library

the plugin always depend directly to the underlying master package.
