Not sure what was going on... but it appears to have cleared itself up. 
I did a complete recompile, and cleaned up some includes that where 
causing it to pull AL/ALC headers from the wrong place (not sure why that 
should matter for code expecting the 1.0 spec - it's just a bunch of 
prototypes that haven't changed).  Also, now that I'm thinking about it, 
there were some system updates pending reboot (maybe including Pulse 
stuff) at the time I was getting the weird audio speed-ups, so that's 
likely the culprit.

Looks like the version in use now is:

    Loading OpenAL from system (dlopen) path
OpenAL - Available Devices:
OpenAL device 0: PulseAudio Software
OpenAL device 1: ALSA Software

OpenAL Driver Init:
OpenAL
  Missing OpenAL Extension function 'EAXSet'
  Missing OpenAL Extension function 'EAXGet'
    Vendor: OpenAL Community
    Version: 1.1 ALSOFT 1.12.854
    Renderer: OpenAL Soft
    Extensions: AL_EXTX_buffer_sub_data AL_EXT_DOUBLE 
AL_EXT_EXPONENT_DISTANCE AL_EXT_FLOAT32 AL_EXT_IMA4 AL_EXT_LINEAR_DISTANCE 
AL_EXT_MCFORMATS AL_EXT_MULAW AL_EXT_MULAW_MCFORMATS AL_EXT_OFFSET 
AL_EXTX_sample_buffer_object AL_EXT_source_distance_model 
AL_LOKI_quadriphonic

I'm not sure which driver it's picking but it's probably Pulse since it's 
in slot 0?

Thanks,

 	Ed
