<Sound Dev> WASAPI

[Sergey Bylokhov]

Hi Izmar,

You are very welcome to the OpenJDK team! And thank you for sharing your ideas on how to improve JavaSound. Before you start, could you tell us more about WASAPI(shared)? What are the advantages over DirectSound? I am not sure we can use WASAPI(exclusive) and block everything else on the system.
