Thanks for the rational post.

I decided to email Scott Ritchie yesterday to see if he knew anything about the
status of the OpenAL-based replacement back-end, as I haven't seen any
information on it for almost a year. Here's his response in case anyone is
interested:

"It's kind of hard to say actually.  Maarten is the one doing the work,
but he couldn't come to wineconf at the last minute.  Julliard has some
doubts about OpenAL mainly because some of the tests are still failing
after the partial implementation, but I'm not sure if that's a permanent
thing."

I think I may also have found a repo where Maarten is checking in changes for
the OpenAL/mmdevapi work:
