OpenALSoft supports the EFX extension - but I don't think it uses HRTFs in the 3D mixing, I'm sure Chris will comment if this is wrong.

OpenAL-Soft does support EFX, yes. It also supports Bauer stereophonic-to-binaural DSP built-in for stereo output. To enable it, you need to set the cf_level config value, in ~/.alsoftrc to 1,2,3,4,5, or 6 (0 disables it and is the default). eg.

[general] cf_level = 2
