That's true, they keep launching totally new products with every major release. That may not be a concern for the professional studios with big budgets they target too. I think FMOD is an excellent product, but for hobbyist/amateur projects is totally overkill. And you're using a proprietary product with licensing costs, in case you want to sell your game.
I always try to use the simplest library/component that gets the job done. OpenAL is very low level and provides basic audio streams, you have to build something in top of it for more complex features.
