Anybody tested java sound on linux? As I know, java uses ALSA on Linux to play audio.. so, i have a problem with it: when java plays sound, other applications can't play anything. When other applications plays sound, java can't. As i know, mplayer can play sound via ALSA and i can open many players and all of them will plays as expected...<br>

</blockquote><br></div>Yepp, I have this problem too and this is very annoying. I found this bug : <a href="http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6832063">http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6832063</a><br>but I was asking me recently whether or not the fix is really in progress. This issue has made us (people working on the XtremeMP media player) think on a fallback audio backend based on gstreamer-java for people running under linux<br>

pulseaudio for playback. Actually pulseaudio is default audio output for
OpenJDK on ubuntu linux. Then it's no problem with audio output from
multiple applications simultaneously..<br></blockquote><div><br>Are you sure ? I use OpenJDK 1.7.0b70 and can't have amarok (gstreamer->PulseAudio) and XtremeMP playing simultaneously on my netbook. Maybe your hardware has some mixing abilities that lets your 'normal' programs play through pulseaudio over a stream while another one is available for java ? You can try this : play something with mplayer or whatever grinding PA, + trying to play a wave file with "aplay <file.wav>". If you have your two streams being played, then your audio card is likely mixing-capable...<br>
