For efficiency reasons, certain AL objects are shared across ALC contexts. At this time, AL buffers are the only shared objects.
Buffers are shared among contexts. The processing state of a buffer is determined by the dependencies impose by all contexts, not just the current context. This includes suspended contexts as well as contexts that are processing.
