I disagree. When you don't need alut, then you shouldn't be required to
link against that. 

How about using `pkg-config freealut --cflags` instead?  It will drag in
both libopenal and libalut.

Note that upstreams provides '.pc' files for both openal and freealut,
but only openal-config (and no freealut-config).


If this is okay for you, please close this bug. Otherwise, please
elaborate why this is inacceptable..

Gruesse,
