I was wondering if the Blackdown port for linux supports sound.
I have never been able to get a single sound out of java-linux.
I am using a debian linux distribution with glibc
I have a soundblaster AWE64, but with the basic driver that treats it like an
SB16
I am able to hear sound with various command line utilities and netscape
plugins.
I can dump messages to my audio devices (/dev/dsp and /dev/audio) and get sound
I made sure that appletviewer (actually a simlink to .java_wrapper) has setuid
root so it can access those devices.
>From the properties menu selection I set unrestricted class access
I downloaded an example program from O'Reilly's Java Examples In A Nutshell
which uses the simple AudioClip.play() to produce a sound.
Whenever I run the appletviewer with an applet that uses AudioClip.play() and it
comes to to play the clip
I get the following message sent to the terminal
no audio device
audio player exit
The applet stops.
I suspect this error message means the implementation I have is incapable of
producing sound.
I cannot find any mention of sound problems with java anywhere on the internet
nobody answers
any question I post related to this in newsgroups.
Any leads would be greatly appreciated!
