The issue is a manually installed framework to /Library, which may be the wrong version/architecture/who knows what, differing from what KDE is expecting. We cannot trust it, and as we saw from earlier in the thread, there are already build issues with it.

The issue isn't OpenAL itself; the issue is KDE is currently picking up that specific OpenAL framework in /Library when it definitely should not.
