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

[Sergey Bylokhov]

Hi, Stefan.
Do you have a test example and an audio file which can reproduce the 
problem? If yes please file a bug to the bugs.java.com and send a bugid 
here.
The bug can be related to the audio file format and/or to the audio 
formats supported by the test system.
