Well, their RPMs are terrible and fairly outdated.  They have hard
dependencies against strange package names (i.e. OpenAL) instead of
allowing RPM discover the dependencies.  And, the RPMS install
to /usr/local.  I forced the RPM to install with --nodeps but it
segfaults when calling into openal.

So, one would need to write a new RPM spec and rebuild everything from
source.  Or skip the RPM and just run their installer script.  Either
way you still need openal.


Add http://newrpms.sunsite.dk/ repository then:
  yum install openal openal-devel


Create a new file named /etc/yum.repos.d/newrpms.repo containing:
[newrpms]
name=NewRPMS
baseurl=http://newrpms.sunsite.dk/apt/redhat/en/i386/fc3/
enabled=1


Then import the newrpms GPG key:
rpm --import http://newrpms.sunsite.dk/gpg-pubkey-newrpms.txt
