You can try out the OpenAL-Soft implementation at the following location if you want --

https://github.com/garinh/openal-soft

The baseline openal-soft implementation is a bit out of date (should be easy to update if you want).  The version above includes a Core Audio backend, and was implemented specifically to get AL_EXT_MCFORMATS support -- it's been tested with quad and 5.1 content.
