I have been trying to get the doppler effect to work with no luck, I have had a look at the source and noticed the setVelocity is never being set, is there a reason for this??

OK, so after reading all the OpenAL manual's and specification it seems that you are not meant to set velocity in OpenAL 1.1, just position and orientation. However why cant I get the doppler effect to work!??

I don't understand why the doppler effect shouldn't work, here's a page describing the effect and how to set it, it seems setting source and listener velocities along with a global doppler factor shold suffice

NOTE:- in OpenAL 1.1 setDopplerVelocity() is deprecated, use setSpeedOfSound().
