Those 2 plugins are not in OpenJDK 8. We definitely need to keep icedtea-web, since it provides a browser plugin for java applets. Icedtea-sound is another story. It uses pulseaudio instead of alsa-lib. Theoretically, it is better, since pulseaudio has real-time capabilities that do not come with alsa-lib. I do not know whether it is possible to hear a difference. And Java sound is not something I use much.
