<Sound Dev> sound on Linux

[Peter Salomonsen]

Hi,

Yes, I'm sure:

This is run on an out-of-the-box ubuntu installation:

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        Clip clip = AudioSystem.getClip();
        clip.open(AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(new File("test.wav")));
        clip.start();
        while(true)
            Thread.sleep(1);
    }

Plays without problems, and I can also call with skype simultaneously (and
other pulseaudio supporting apps).

As for Frinika - the sound produced from this app is choppy as Paul said -
but this is a problem with Frinika and not the pulseaudio support in
openjdk..

regards,

Peter
