Deprecate OpenAL
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This will also revert the setting of anyone that currently has OpenAL selected to the default, which is Cubeb.
OpenAL is only on Windows now, and it's the worst backend there by far, it crackles at latencies that Cubeb supports fine, it has no additional features to Cubeb.

There seems to be no reason to allow users to even select, and in the dev irc channel, no one was aware of any case where OpenAL might work better than Cubeb.
The plan is to see if users complain about this, and if not, just delete it from Dolphin.
