[Audio-engine-dev] OpenJDK: Sound API Contribution

[Florian Bomers]

Hi Alexander,

you're mostly right, but I guess it's a good idea to read through
the (few) emails that have been exchanged so far on this mailing
list, and especially on sound-dev at openjdk.java.net .

We can need every volunteer, your help will be much appreciated.

Regards,
Florian
