Usage

And then:

use openal_soft_sys::alc;
use std::ptr;

fn main() {
    // Open device
    let device = unsafe { alc::alcOpenDevice(ptr::null()) };
    assert!(!device.is_null(), "Failed to open device");

    // Create context
    let context = unsafe { alc::alcCreateContext(device, ptr::null()) };
    assert!(!context.is_null(), "Failed to create context");

    // ...

    // Destroy context and close device
    unsafe {
        alc::alcDestroyContext(context);
        alc::alcCloseDevice(device);
    }
}
