Hello all,

So I noticed the panning in Openal Soft changed drastically between 1.15
and 1.14. A few other folks have noticed the same:

Basically what happens is the panning snaps to the left and right without
much of a center dead zone. It's quite noticeable in top-down shooters.

I narrowed the change down to this commit:
http://repo.or.cz/w/openal-soft.git/commit/febc2a50cb1a860d11b6b740bd05a555fce5a8d2

My question is: was this drastic change intentional? Is there an easy way
replicate the old behavior without doing the calculations manually?

Thanks
