There is the forthcoming "JavaSound" API. It is available in
JDK1.3 beta. Although someboady else already posted a
beta release of JavaSound for Linux
a couple of weeks ago. Check out the archive for more infos.
Playing sound in Java 1.1 has been drag, because the official
API was very weak. There was no way to synthesise sounds
or play anything else except 8KHz Sun Audio File format
files.
However others like myself discovered the `sun.audio.*'
undocumentated API. I have built a SoundKit which exploits it,
and I have also even got a JDK1.2 bug fixed in time for the
Kestrel Release.

If you want to look a my soundkit for 1.1.7. You can extract the
`xenon.soundkit' from my video game source code
`http://www.xenonsoft.demon.co.uk/humanoid/humanoid.html'.
There is an example test sound program also.
At some point (next year I guess) I'd like to
evolve the xenon.soundkit to the new JavaSound API.
BTW: Is there anyone writing a book on JavaSound?
