What audio library to use?
That may work, but I haven't tried it since its LGPL licence. I'm using the alto crate and now that I've checked its repository is archived https://github.com/jpernst/alto

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (9/2023)!
One of the simplest encodings would be WAV, for which the crate hound exists (it's linked from rodio's README): https://github.com/ruuda/hound/blob/master/examples/append.rs
- BWF WAV Reading/Processing/Writing

Create audio "file" from opus packets
I'm no expert when it comes to audio, but this works and is basically copied from the readme.md in hound's repository, along an utility trait that adds ringbuffer-like behavior to VecDeque. How does decoding Opus come into play here?
To convert the buffer of samples into a playable file, you can use a library such as hound. It doesn't seem to be the fastest (it looks like you can only write 1 sample at a time which means the compiler will be unlikely to vectorize writes), but again, it's likely sufficient and appears very easy to use.

What audio library to use?
To load the audio data from file you need a separate library, e.g. hound for .wav files.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing openal-rs and hound you can also consider the following projects:
rust-portaudio - PortAudio bindings and wrappers for Rust.
rust-fmod - A rust binding for the FMOD library
rust-vst2 - VST 2.4 API implementation in rust. Create plugins or hosts.
minimp3-rs - minimp3 rust bindings + wrapper
rodio - Rust audio playback library
portmidi-rs - High-level PortMidi bindings and wrappers for Rust
ears - Easy Api in Rust to play Sounds
cpal - Cross-platform audio I/O library in pure Rust
