We have used wav format in Java 3D (worked fairly well last year), but
recently we have removed all attempts to use Java 3D sound due to
crashing problems (even when you aren't playing a sound).
When I first started trying to learn Java 3D sound the trick that
confused me the most was not knowing to put in:
AudioDevice audioDev = simpleU.getViewer().createAudioDevice();
if (!audioDev.initialize()) {
System.out.println("Failure to init audio device");
}
