Thank you for the quick reply/response! The reason why I asked is
because http://www.reallyslick.com/instructions.html says OpenAL is
required for Skyrocket screen saver due to its audio. However, I get no
audio. I assume it needed a Creative sound card. I am waiting for the
developer's response/reply on why this is happening. :)
