Changing AL_PITCH with ogg files

Hi, does anyone know how to change the pitch of an ogg music and/or sound file from within TGB? I tried using alxSourcef(songHandleName, AL_PITCH, 0.5); for example, to try and play the song at half speed, but it doesn't do anything.
I know that AL_PITCH is being changed by that function call, because if I specify some AL_BLAHBLAH that doesn't exist, it complains that AL_BLAHBLAH is not a valid value to try and modify.
Does anyone have any experience with this? Do I need to open up more functions to script? I know that OpenAL supports pitch changes, but I can't seem to figure out why they aren't working for me. Maybe it just doesn't work with ogg files...but that seems rather poor.
Thanks!

I've now got it working, and it honestly doesn't sound too bad having music that is in mono. I wish it would work with stereo .ogg files, but most people probably won't notice anyway. ;p

Wow, thank you so much!! I didn't think the solution would be nearly that straight-forward!I've now got it working, and it honestly doesn't sound too bad having music that is in mono. I wish it would work with stereo .ogg files, but most people probably won't notice anyway. ;p
