The bundled AL still sits at 1.15 which is a bit out of date. The 1.24 would not cause any break change. So unless there is any particular reason why the engine should stay with 1.15, I would like to propose to bump the bundled lib to 1.24

Is there any particular reason to update the OpenAL headers?

Unlike libraries that may patch vulnerabilities or make improvements, the OpenAL headers only provide the API. It would only need to be updated if making use of new features in code/client/snd_openal.c or fixing compiler errors/warnings.

@zturtleman fair point, I do agree it does not need to be updated if we do NOT use the new feature offered in 1.24. However the intention of this request is that to help Linux distro packagers with their packaging / bug reporting works since they do not have use the bundled out-of-date version and go with the more up-to-date system openal-soft.
