Technical. 3D positional audio works properly with FMOD Ex but not
with OpenAL. OpenAL plays all the sounds at full volume. FMOD Ex fades
them based on your position as it should.

What the Brutal DOOM documentation says about this is: "If you are
hearing a lot of sounds from unknown sources from large distances,
such as blood driping from hanged bodies and burning barrels making
cracking fire noises across the map, you need to reinstall your
sourceport."

I suspect that the fix would actually need to be in gzdoom, not Brutal DOOM.
