Hi.

Typically an error like that would mean there's an issue with the device, or 
something OpenAL Soft itself sets in combination with the device that it 
doesn't quite like. There's nothing specific to an app using OpenAL that 
should be able to cause it, though (this stuff is sufficiently abstracted 
away),

Can you say what sound hardware you have?
Do you use PulseAudio?
What version of OpenAL Soft?
Do you have any special settings in ~/.alsoftrc or /etc/openal/alsoft.conf?
