my intro, and seeking basic tutorials for OpenAL with OS10

Hello,
I am new to Objective-c but want to learn it. One project I have in mind is an audio-only game, for which OpenAL will be needed. Apple's documentation mentions OpenAL in the context of the Core Audio framework, but I am confused as to how to use OpenAL. I can import it directly, but the docs seem to suggest that Apple has an easier-to-use interface for OpenAL rather than using it by itself. So, my questions:
1. Does anyone know if there is an interface to OpenAL? If so, could you point me toward docs explaining it, or at least where to find the header files on the Mac?
2. Can anyone provide a basic tutorial on OpenAL itself? I found one, but it is from 2002 and will, I fear, be so out of date that I will be unable to apply much of what I learn.
Keep in mind that my (relatively limited) programming has all been with Python, Java, and web languages, so tutorials that gloss over advanced code will be of limited benefit. Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to provide.


Have a great day,
Alex (msg sent from Mac Mini)
