This is a bugtest video for kcat showing a bad glitch in Mass Effect with DSOAL. While EAX in Mass Effect will function properly in most cases with boost=-6 enforced in alsoft.ini, certain ambient sounds break and play at full volume at all times. This does not happen with OpenAL Soft by itself, only with DSOAL. It seems to be a similar problem as what happens in IDTech 4 engine games.
