<Sound Dev> JavaSound is not actually usable on Oracle JDK

[Peter Salomonsen]

Hi!

Frinika (frinika.com) runs well on OracleJDK and OpenJDK, both Linux,
Windows and OSX. Uses most of Javasound capabilities, not so much clip, but
pretty much everything else.

Have you got some example code of what doesn't work for you?

best regards,

Peter
