Open AL, Adobe Director - No sound in projector [FIX]

One of the most annoying thing about Adobe Director is its lack of support. Open AL Xtra enables director to use OpenAL runtimes for 3D sound manipulation. Unfortunately, in a projector/exe, it doesn't play any sound. This issue was pointed out at multiple forums (here and here), without any fix so far. After struggling for nearly 4-5 hrs, I finally figured it out. The solution couldn't be any simpler. Just include these two xtras in the projector.

- Mix Services
- Sound Import Export

I got he hint from playFile() documentation for Director. It mentions the use of "Correct Mix Xtra" to play sound properly.
