Hi Alex, thanks for the status overview.

I believe that it would only remove the software synthesizer (and OSS support on Solaris). We can use Direct* for everything else that the Beatnik engine is used for. I think it's very easy to separate the beatnik stuff into a closed source .jar file plus binary libs and let the rest be open already now. Based on the community source I can give it a shot. > What we need: 1) Software synthesizer. I'll write you personally with an idea. In any case, I think it's a good idea if the synth for openjdk writes to a direct audio source data line. > 2) OSS mixer (for linux/solaris) > I think OSS has a big chance to become Solaris standard audio > engine so JavaSound have to handle it (both sampled and midi). OSS/sampled shouldn't be very hard to implement, because it's very similar to the existing /dev/mixer implementation. Additionally, I believe that OSS has a /dev/mixer emulation? Then, at least, non-existence of direct OSS implementation is not a showstopper. For linux, I doubt that we'll ever need OSS again. > As soon as part of JavaSound implementation will be opened, it > will be possible to start working on other issues (bug fixes and > enhancements). great, looking forward to it (I have some fixes in the pipe, too).
