Yes, when using the OpenJDK 1.6, I can play sound from my Java app at
the same time that other audio apps are running, such as video games,
speech-dispatcher, Mumble, etc. Furthermore, in OpenJDK, I can play 2
Clip objects simultaneously and it will mix them for me (presumably
using ALSA mix program).
On the other hand Sun's JDK does not do all of the above for me.
Thank you, OpenJDK.
