OpenAL dll alternatives

Monkey Targets Forums/Desktop/OpenAL dll alternatives

I don't want to use the OpenAL.dll.
Even if I have a no-sound project, by using:

Import mojo.app
Import mojo.graphics
Import mojo.input


the app still asks for OpenAL.dll. :(

Is there a way around this? Do I need to build my own sound module for monkey?

EDIT:
I see why OpenAL is popular.

OpenAL MUST be installed. It works only on XP without installing, but not on Vista and 7. But the good news is that you can launch it like "oalinst.exe /q" or something in silent mode so the user doesn't even know that it was installed (which takes like a fraction of a second to install anyway).

Having it mandatory for applications that don't use sound seems odd, though.
