OpenAL distance model selection for scene loudness consistency
OpenAL configures per-source distance attenuation via alDistanceModel, which selects a context-wide falloff formula from models such as AL_INVERSE_DISTANCE, AL_LINEAR_DISTANCE, AL_EXPONENT_DISTANCE and their clamped variants. The specification defines the gain formulas but provides no content-appropriate defaults, and the default AL_INVERSE_DISTANCE_CLAMPED
