How would they be able to fix it exactly? openal-soft earlier obsoleted
openal in the stable branches. openal-soft maintainer also filed bug
reports asking all the maintainers to rebuild the packages that depended
openal in Rawhide, Fedora 11 and Fedora 10. A rebuild is only possible
in Rawhide since openal-soft is not in the build root for other
branches. All this information is already in the bug report I linked to
in the original mail.

It got fixed only later. For a while all the packages that depended on
openal was broken in multiple branches.
