Try using NULL in alcMakeContextCurrent()

void OpenALInterriptionListener(void *inClientData, UInt32 inInterruptionState)
{
    OpenALDevice * device = (OpenALDevice *) inClientData;
    OSStatus nResult;

    if( inInterruptionState == kAudioSessionBeginInterruption )
    {
        alcMakeContextCurrent(NULL);    
    }
    else if( inInterruptionState == kAudioSessionEndInterruption )
    {
        nResult = AudioSessionSetActive(true);

        if( nResult )
        {
            //  "Error setting audio session active"
        }

        alcMakeContextCurrent( device->GetContext() );
    }
}
