Description:
OpenAL 1.18 currently breaks a number of programs:
https://github.com/zevv/bucklespring/issues/50
https://github.com/qTox/qTox/issues/4486

A memory leak will very quickly use all system memory and trigger the OOM Killer.

This is fixed in this commit which should be included in 1.18.1:
https://github.com/kcat/openal-soft/commit/d4f3490a880f779f460332689a396ade69840f50

In the meantime I recommend updating to this commit to make these and other packages usable again.
This task depends upon
