Ideally, yes. As far as Wine GIT and OpenAL Soft are concerned, "Generic
Software", "Generic Hardware", and "" are 100% identical, and OpenAL Soft
follows the OpenAL spec. If the app behaves differently, it's either trying to
access more/different functionality, or it expects incorrect/driver-specific
behavior.. which, in either case, means we need to find out what it's trying to
do so I can try to fix it in Wine or OpenAL Soft.
