Hi.

The first thing to check is to make sure the sound is mono. Stereo 
sounds won't attenuate with distance.

Also to note, you'll want to set this only when you want the source 
position to be relative to the listener, e.g. a source position of 
{1,0,1} will always make the source sound like it's to the back-right of 
the listener, regardless of where the listener is.

If the source and listener are being given absolute world positions, you 
want to leave AL_SOURCE_RELATIVE at AL_FALSE.
