As of 1.1, alut was depreciated. Not 100% sure if they totoally dropped the library (it's been a while since I worked with OpenAL now :( ), but you should try too steer clear of alut if you want to progress with OpenAL.

Well some parts of alut are simply merged into the main OpenAL library.
So just make sure you use the 1.1 header files and then link against the 1.1 library files:
For windows you can use these to link against: http://developer.cre...1&top=38&aid=45
On GNU/Linux systems just make sure to have libopenal-dev installed.
