New issue by hiltjo on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/38320

Description:
### Is this a new report?

Yes

### System Info

Void 5.18.14_1 x86_64 AuthenticAMD uptodate rrmFFFFF

### Package(s) Affected

libopenal-1.22.0_1 supertuxkart-1.3_1 openra-20210321_1

### Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?

Seems to be fixed in version 1.22.1 (latest as of now is 1.22.2).

VoidLinux seems to be using an older version 1.22.0.

See: https://github.com/kcat/openal-soft/blob/master/ChangeLog

Specificly: "Fixed ALSA not being used on some systems without PipeWire and PulseAudio."

### Expected behaviour

Audio was working fine previously with the same config:
I don't have pulseaudio, sndio or pipewire installed, just alsa, which used to work fine.

### Actual behaviour

No audio.

Workaround seems to be setting the environment variable: ALSOFT_DRIVERS=alsa

### Steps to reproduce

- Run: openra-ra
- No audio :(

Workaround:
- Run: ALSOFT_DRIVERS=alsa openra-ra
- Audio works \o/

Comment:
I lightly tested 1.22.2 and it works without the workaround now:

The patch to bump the package:
