           Summary: Cannot play two sounds simultaneously (Linux)
           Product: IcedTea
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: IcedTea
        AssignedTo: unassigned at icedtea.classpath.org
        ReportedBy: ryan at ryanheise.com


When running Java programs on IcedTea (for Linux) that attempt to play two
sounds simultaneously (such as games), you only hear one sound, not both.

This problem can be reproduced with the following simple applet:

import java.applet.*;
import java.net.*;

public class SoundTest extends Applet {
  public void start() {
    try {
      // Attempt to play a sound effect over background music.
      getAudioClip(new URL(getDocumentBase(), "music.wav")).play();
      getAudioClip(new URL(getDocumentBase(), "soundeffect.wav")).play();
    } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
  }
}

On the SUN JVMs, you hear both sounds simultaneously. On IcedTea, you only hear
the first sound and not the second. No error is printed to the console.

I am using the openjdk-6-jdk package from Ubuntu 8.04 which claims to have been
built "using the IcedTea build support and patches from the IcedTea project."
