<Sound Dev> [9] Review Request: 8177560 @headful key can be removed from the tests for JavaSound

[Philip Race]

An issue with this maybe that access to the desktop is required
in order to access the audio device even if it is there as
that is how permissions may be set up to authenticate access
and limit it to a single user.

So tests being run in a non-headful environment - not quite
the same thing as -Djava.awt.headless=true may be skipped
even on systems that have audio.

Were you logged in only as a remote user when executing these tests
and if so did they have audio access if there was such a device ?

The combination of these factors and a lack of actual audio device
may mean that we have all these tests being a useless no-op.
