Hi Ian,

your second guess was right…

I've updated High Sierra to Mojave a couple of weeks ago. On my system:

ll /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenAL.framework/Versions
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  5 root  wheel  160 Sep 21  2019 A
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    1 Mar 23 19:38 Current -> A

and

ll /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenAL.framework/Versions/Current/Headers
ls: /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenAL.framework/Versions/Current/Headers: No such \
file or directory

Ciao

Franco
