So, unc0rr won't let me revert to pre-e496587db93e, but reverting db731c523653 makes the rope less-sticky-enough to actually be usable in an ordinary game without my screaming at the monitor as I drown for the nth time...

#include <stdio.h>
#include "openalbridge.h"

int main (int argc, int **argv) {

    openal_init();

    openal_close();

    return 0;
}
