I have made some small games in the past as personal projects, but I am now looking into possibly expanding and trying my hand at doing a game for the iPhone/Android. I have done some research and it looks like OpenAL is the only free audio library that I can use that will support both of these. Unfortunately, just from looking at OpenAL source code samples it is quite confusing.

Are there any thin C++ wrappers for OpenAL or any good resources for getting started with OpenAL? The only real tutorials I have found are at http://www.devmaster.net/articles/openal-tutorials/lesson1.php and they are from 8 years ago, so I am assuming they are outdated.

On another note, I saw http://kcat.strangesoft.net/openal.html mentioned in another thread. What is the difference between this and OpenAL?

Progress of OpenAL and sound libraries generally is almost not existing in the last decade, so the tutorials at devmaster are still up-to-date. Using OpenAL is quite simple and these tutorials will help you much.
