Details

Description: If optional packages such as [lib32-]openal are installed on the system, wine[-staging] should leverage them by exposing the equivalent built-in DLL, e.g. OpenAL32.dll in this case. Currently OpenAL is not exposed regardless of system library installation state and the fact that it's listed as an optional dependency on the wine package. Same issue affects both wine and wine-staging.

Additional info:
* package version(s): 7.22

Steps to reproduce: Install system openal. Run a wine program that requires openal. See it fail to load the library. Manually sourcing the windows-native dll fixes the error. Previously this wasn't an issue, but I haven't confirmed which version caused the regression.
This task depends upon

OpenAL32.dll was removed from upstream wine since version 7.21 [1]. That commit said:

I assume it's an application issue.

By the way, {,lib32-}openal can be removed from PKGBUILDs.
