Getting the spacial position of speakers?

Greetings,

I am currently trying to write a very simple sound engine using Apple's
new OpenAL implementation, and I was wondering something about speaker
position (in a multi-channel environment).

As you all know, one can configure the position of speakers in
"listener space" (only x and z axis from what I can tell) in Audio MIDI
Setup. I was wondering if there was a way to get the actual coordinates
of each speaker (given its channel number possibly) with respect to the
listener (or the coordinate system, but theoretically the listener is
at {0, 0, 0}) in order to place, for instance, a source directly "on"
or "at" a speaker or channel.

There doesn't seem to be any mention of that in the OAL specs, from
what I understood of them in any case.

Regards,
Jeff Roy
