Title: Deprecated Audio API on OS X?
Post by: jg18 on August 30, 2016, 10:09:56 am

I got this warning message when running 3.7.4 in the Terminal on OS X (10.11.3), although the game seemed to launch OK:

Support for this will be removed in a future release. Also, this makes the host incompatible with version 3 audio units. Please transition to the API's in AudioComponent.h.

Not yet sure what we'll need to do or how to fix it though.

I wonder if that's related to #847 (https://github.com/scp-fs2open/fs2open.github.com/issues/847).

Maybe? Best guess at the moment is that Apple's OpenAL is using an outdated OS X audio API. One way to test would be to build up-to-date OpenAL Soft and use that with a 3.7.4 build from source instead of Apple's OpenAL although that's a fair bit of work, so not sure when I'll be able to try that.

The list of dynamic libraries that Apple's OpenAL depends on:

Is this still a thing?  We should probably get an official issue on Github to track migrating OS X to OpenAL Soft I think.  Don't know if it would help with this issue but I've never seen it myself.  Maybe the error here warrants an issue of its own?
