The OpenJDK 6 b20 sources are *not* related in any simple fashion to 
sources used to build Oracle's 6 update 20 JDK binaries:

Oracle's 6 update 20 uses a different sound engine, hence the sound 
failures when running the the OpenJDK 6 tests. Without doing your own 
OpenJDK 6 builds, using the OpenJDK 6/IcedTea 6 JDK now common in Linux 
distributions is an easy way to get a build for comparison purposes.
