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

[Florian Bomers]

Hi Alexander,

your enthusiasm is great! Java Sound needs people like you. I'm
currently "on hold" until Sun releases the Java Sound portion of
the source code (which was just announced to be rather soon).
Then I hope will be more momentum on this list as to how to proceed.

Tritonus and Sun's Java Sound are 2 different things. I have a
hunch that you're referring to Tritonus' TODO list?

Tritonus' ALSA support is not actively being worked on anymore,
because Sun's JDK ships with ALSA support on Linux. I am not
aware of any pressing issues in Sun's ALSA implementation.

Regards,
Florian

PS: Alexander, please make sure to reply to the list, not only to me.
