Creative stopped with their binary only drivers sooner than I expected..
has anyone checked the source code already? Is it the typical mess that
happens when drivers are developed close sourced? Are their OpenAL
libraries still binary only, or released open source too?

There will be a lot of cleanup required, clearly, and that task can now start, ideally with a maximum of rigor and a minimum of insults.
