I'm using OpenAL quite a few years already in my project, so far with 
libmikmod in the early beginnings and later with FMod. Libmikmod became 
old and rarely maintained and FMod is having its restrictions due to be 
closed source regarding portability to other archs like ARM, especially 
the older Versions won't get any more support. I came across libXMP 
which is maintained very well and it looks like a good successor for 
libmikmod.
However, unlike libmikmod or FMod it is having no own direct output 
handling. The idea would be to use OpenAL for output since already 
initialized and working flawlessly, this would not only save a lot of 
overhead, it also reduces trouble especially in Linux on crappy 
soundcards which don't handle output from 2 different output sources 
very well (this problem got pretty much solved over the years bad I have 
bad memories on it yet).
So what I need to basically just a way to say libXMP: play using output 
device OpenAL- some kind of output passthrough avoiding buffering or any 
other additionally existing function except maybe volume and frequency 
settings.
So far I have no real idea yet how to do this, but maybe I just missed 
something yet.

Thanks,
