(... which makes it impossible to co-install wine:i386 with anything
for amd64 that uses OpenAL.)

I'm bumping this up to serious so the new OpenAL won't migrate until
this has been resolved.

OpenAL maintainers, please overrule me and downgrade this if you
don't think it's release-critical (it's your decision); but I think it
ought to be considered RC, because both Wine and OpenAL games are rather
popular.

Bret, I notice you normally upload this package via a sponsor, and you've
applied the second solution (drop roaraudio support) in pkg-games git.
I am a DD in the Games Team, and would be happy to sponsor an upload
if your usual sponsor is unavailable - let me know.
