Ah, I see - My main concern is that people might not know that OpenAL
is related to audio - And the (short) description doesn't give any
additional information. But seeing the description of the mesa package
you mention, I see your point.

My idea would be a minor addition, something like

"A free implementation of the OpenAL audio API" - 

But I don't know about adding the word "graphics" to the mesa package -
Somehow OpenGL seems more self-explainatory (maybe it is just me) - I guess
that is because I am more familiar with OpenGL than with OpenAL.

Thank you for your work with OpenAL!
best regards
