Just installed thief 2 again with the newest tafferpatcher and gave openal a go. After initial test it feels great! I didn't catch any other difference than the echo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o :D a very welcome addition, it adds very much to the atmosphere. Is there anything else added?

I was also wondering how many audio channels I should enable? What would be the negative effects of setting it too high?

But I think there is just too much of that echo. For example in the first mission when you douse that torch the guards start a conversation. There's just so much echo it sounds like everyone in the whole basement could hear it, not very realistic. It really starts to annoy when you walk on loud surfaces or blackjack someone. So is there a convenient way to reduce the echo some amount? I found al_reverb.ini in thief2/doc but the file is all greek to me. Has anyone experimented with it?

Edit your cam_ext.cfg and add a new line with sfx_source_reverb_mix XXX, where XXX is a number between 0.0 and 1.0 I think. You have to test this yourself.
