Yes, I also need to know how to install OpenAl. There's no openal in the Synaptic tool!

OpenAL

sudo apt-get install libopenal0a libopenal-dev

Alut

sudo apt-get install libalut0 libalut-dev

Not trying to get my count up. Just thought I would put this up for anybody having trouble with this since you need it to compile VDrift.
