Naturally, unfortunately, this makes perfect sense: it doesn't exist. There are no openal libraries present on any Android devices, afaik, though searching will find more information about the (lack of?) OpenAL on Android:

I'm currently torn between removing the OpenAL namespace from OpenTK.dll or adding a dll remap entry so that libopenal32.so will be searched, allowing those who can figure out how to compile openal to embed it into their .apk. At this point in time we are not doing so.
