In IE you can access M$'s extensions to access direct sound.
In Java 1.3 you have JavaSound. New browsers and browsers with the Java
Plug In should be able to use JavaSound.
A interesting "wrapper" to sound could be
http://sourceforge.net/projects/muhmuaudio/ This will apparently try to
play using the best means available in your setting.
MP3 decoder: http://www.javazoom.net/javalayer/javalayer.html
(MOD/XM/IT decoder: Jmicmod ;)
Saumont: Could you give me a link or something to the GSM decoder? That
definately sounds like an interesting piece of software..
