Prey: The Mac App store works with OpenAL if one enables it via the preference list (plist) in the preference folder from aspyr for Prey. It does not use the center channel speaker though unless we can get a compiled version of OpenAL Soft that we can use as a system library on the Mac.
Jedi Academy: Gets mostly fixed 3D Audio with OpenAL soft if an override is done in WINE replacing the default OpenAL32.dll with a renamed soft_oal.dll and setting OpenAL32 in the registry to "native".
The first training level after the initial intro level seems to crash in WINE.. but seems to load the other levels once you get a choice.
Dark Forces: Crashes when one sets a DLL override in the WINE registry.
Serious Sam HD: Gets mostly fixed with OpenAL Soft and a WINE registry override setting OpenAL32.dll to native like the above. In-game dialog isn't always correct however. The native version of Serious Sam 3 needs a similar fix much like Prey does

New Games: Frictional Games - Amnesia & Penumbra Work except for the common bug of not using the center channel speaker. World of Goo: Same thing except the front and rear channels are reversed. bit.trip runner: Same thing and the game only uses the surround speakers for a few effects.
