Add support for rapture

[justtoask]

I thought that it would be nice to add support for rapture (game edition) because from what I heard it has even better sound positioning than openAL soft, so it would be nice if I could have EAX and the best positional audio, here's the compatibility list: http://blueripplesound.com/compatible-games

Rapture has nothing to do with EAX, and it's just an openal implementation/device like any other.
If you think OAL-soft has a subpar positioning, you should report to them.

You could place Rapture's OpenAL driver (rapture3d_oal.dll) with the wrapper and rename it to one of the supported file name (eaxefx_driver.dll, dsoal-aldrv.dll, soft_oal.dll).

Sorry for replying so late, but I just now tried to do it with doom 3 ("s_libOpenAL" is "openal32.dll") and it doesn't have any sound and crashes after few seconds.

Seems the "game edition" supports only specific games.

[justtoask]

Yeah, but doom 3 is on the support list

[mirh]

It should work anywhere with a bit of elbow grease.

[bibendovsky]

I couldn't get it working.

Test results for Rapture 3D extracted libraries (mentioned in the link above).
Done with clean installation of Windows 7 SP1 x64 in the VirtualBox.

P.S. ALCapsViewer and EnumerateWin32 got here.

Test 1
Files from a folder "1. Libraries to copy near game exe".

Test 2

The wrapper not maintained anymore after integration into OpenAL Soft.
