Hello Andrew,

I can't quite get the relation between icedtea-sound and an OpenJDK
built with Icedtea. It seems I don't need icedtea-sound for my Java
app to play sound: I tried tuxguitar [0] and this Oracle test app [1]
that are able to play sound even though I have an OpenJDK + Icedtea
2.5.1 but **no** icedtea-sound installed.

Complete version:

java version "1.7.0_65"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.5.1) (Arch Linux build
7.u65_2.5.1-5-x86_64)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.65-b04, mixed mode)

Could you please let me know what I am missing here?

Thanks,

Guillaume
