ALFactory (JOAL API)

java.lang.Object
- com.jogamp.openal.ALFactory

```
public class ALFactory
extends Object
```
This class provides factory methods for generating AL and ALC objects.
Select preferred OpenAL native library type via system properties, i.e. System-OpenAL or bundled Soft-OpenAL.
If the preferred choice fails, implementation falls back to the other.
```
    -Djoal.openal.lib=auto     Prefer System-OpenAL over bundled Soft-OpenAL for OSX. Prefer bundled Soft-OpenAL over System-OpenAL for all others. This is the default.
    -Djoal.openal.lib=system   Prefer System-OpenAL over bundled Soft-OpenAL for all.
    -Djoal.openal.lib=soft     Prefer bundled Soft-OpenAL over System-OpenAL for all.
   
```
Note: You may use the 'jnlp.' prefix, allowing using above property names w/ Applets and WebStart, e.g. 'jnlp.joal.openal.lib=system'.
