Hi, some people report a delay in sounds in windows Vista (i'm using the default audio commands).

I read that it's possible to change the audio driver, on the documentation I found there are OpenAL, DirectSound and FreeAudio.

Unfortunately there's not much documentation on how to use these: is it as simple as using SetAudioDriver(...) and keeping the sound commands as they are now or must i use specific commands for these libraries?

I saw there are all openAL native commands: is it necessary to use these or is it possible to use the blitzmax ones (loadsound, playsound...) to use openAL?

Also, which between OpenAL, DirectSound and FreeAudio do you recommend?

Thanks a bunch.
