Hi,
the "setPosition(..)" method of PointSound has no effect to a the sound.
The position seems not to be initilized (correctly). This might be the
reason for the odd coordinate (0, 0, -1.3...).
After attaching a TransformGroup (with a PointSound node in it) to a
"live" graph, you have to re-transform it. Say, the TransformGroup has
to be set to its current transformation values! Unlikely, the odd
coordinate has been transformed, too (already tested).
Now, i am sure that this is a real bug, which has to be fixed!
Furthermore, whenever you are not heading in -z/z direction, the sound
source can not be localized correctly. The orientation of the viewer and
the position (again) of the sound do not result in a correct playback
using stereo devices.
BUT, in my opinion, the distance-grain-function works fine ;)
Is there an sun engineer to comment on this?
Best Regards,
Marc
