Hello, I read in the mailing list web-based aggregator the following snippet:
>> To make JavaSound completely open (and drop closed part) we need alternative >> implementations for: >> 1) Software synthesizer. There is separate openjdk project for the task - >> audio-engine-dev; >> 2) OSS mixer (for linux/solaris, both sampled and midi). As for a software synthesizer, I think that TiMidity++ ( http://timidity.sourceforge.net/) would be the best choice for the job. The OSS Mixer should be PulseAudio, which supports working through ESD interfaces as well as native ones. It is a drop-in replacement for ESD and TiMidity++ supports channeling the output of the MIDI through EsounD, which can be picked up by PulseAudio. I hope this is useful for starting the work needed to complete the Free JavaSound implementation. Both PulseAudio and TiMidity++ are cross-platform, so I don't think there should be any issues with it... I am not a programmer unfortunately, so I cannot help, but my stake in this has to do with distributing java-based multimedia software that is FOSS. I hope JavaSound issues get resolved soon!
