This is a known problem. Someone did some work on this, I saved his
page, but the page appears not be there anymore when you go there...
maybe you can e-mail him or something, or get some info from my copy of
the page at:
ftp://shell3.ba.best.com/pub/rmlynch/Java_Stuff/sound-linuxNS.html
HTH. Bob L.
P.S. Reminder: this page is just a copy I saved. None of the links will
probably work, although I haven't tried them all...
