allen 0.2.0 released: modern OpenAL bindings
A while back I was trying to use OpenAL for a game project and found frustration with the lack of usable bindings. There was of course [alto](https://https://crates.io/crates/alto), but it’s been unmaintained for about 3 years and was on it’s way out the door due to dependency on parking_lot. I just recently renovated this bindings crate I made and (hopefully) made it safer. Not sure how well it actually works outside my own use case. Still new to actually publishing crates. Enjoy!

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
What are some alternatives?
When comparing ears and openal-rs you can also consider the following projects:
rust-portaudio - PortAudio bindings and wrappers for Rust.
rodio - Rust audio playback library
minimp3-rs - minimp3 rust bindings + wrapper
rust-vst2 - VST 2.4 API implementation in rust. Create plugins or hosts.
