Client> Unable to initialize OpenAL. Probable cause: OpenAL not supported.
There seems to be some form of installer here, but idk. Give it a shot.

DO NOT USE THAT LINK! Softonic bundles adware in with its programs. The OpenAL error simply means that Minecraft couldn't find a valid audio device. Make sure your speakers/headphones are plugged in and restart Minecraft.
If that doesn't work, you can update your audio drivers. If you still have an issue, make another thread.
Download & Install the OpenAL Framework First thing you need to do is to download and install the OpenAL library/framework. For Windows and Mac users, I highly suggest going to http://developer.creative.com/landing.asp?cat=1&sbcat=31&top=38 and downloading the appropriate SDK Installer. For you Linux users (or Mac OS X users who just want to take the hard route about doing things), you will need to open up a terminal window and use CVS to download the appropriate files. Have fun reading the README files. Here are the CVS commands:
cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/usr/local/cvs-repository login
(use password "guest")
cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/usr/local/cvs-repository co
openal
For Mac OS X users, when I originally tried this method, I had to do a little bit of manipulating to get the framework to place itself properly. Since the /System/Library/Frameworks folder is owned by root, I had to use this command to copy the framework into the Frameworks directory:
sudo chmod 777 /System/Library/Frameworks/
Then I created an OpenAL.framework directory and copied the files in there. Once finished, I reverted the /System/Library/Frameworks folder back to its original 755 permissions. And if this is Greek to you, you probably should just use Creative's SDK Installer instead, so you wouldn't have to mess around with UNIX commands. At this point, I have not tried this on Linux, but there are probably some similiarities, and some dis-similiarities between Linux and Mac OS X.
If you just need to run an OpenAL application, then you just need the OpenAL Installer which will place the proper files on your system (such as OpenAL32.dll for Windows users).
However, it seems dev.creative.com has been down lately, so I'd try and look for another download link.

Course.
Well, I got this after a bit of googling:
