not necessarily. But as far as I know the lawyers, they would
argue that *I* said something...

In any case, Sun doesn't have a history of suing.

And don't get me wrong, I like your name. But as far as I can
tell, you are "violating" their trademark. Maybe just make it
"YongSound" or "YoonSound"?

Florian

PS: btw, for me the best place to discuss Java Sound is the
javasound-interest mailing list:
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/sound/list.html

PPS: IANAL (I am not a lawyer)
