Well, I *finally* made some headway. My app/applet no longer crashes,
and here's what I have done so far as a workaround.
1. Switch from using my own VirtualUniverse to the SimpleUniverse. Not
that big a deal until you realize that sounds are not enabled by default
in SimpleUniverse.
2. Load geometry data AFTER the applet is up and running, including the
Canvas3D.
#1 is a big deal. I have yet to try enabling sounds, and I am worried
that something about the JavaSoundMixer is causing some problems... it
does use a .dll if I am not mistaken. But I *definitely* must have
sound. So, really, this "workaround" is not acceptable for me.
Yes, I finally did enable sound with the SimpleUniverse using:
AudioDevice audioDev = universe.getViewer().createAudioDevice();
And yes, it started crashing again. Commenting it back out, everything
runs fine again. And it's not just the "memory straw that broke the
camel's back". I had *many* other things commented out before I tried
leaving out sound. At one point, my whole scene graph was a single
cube. Only crashed once, but it definitely crashed.
*** Are the any other Java3D developers of medium-size apps that use
sound on Win98?? I would like to correlate this in other apps.
