I would suggest that PulseAudio only be the default on distros that use it. I use Debian which doesn't use PulseAudio by default, and somehow this change seems to have trickled into it as well, judging by the comment from lib/sound.properties to provide feedback on this Launchpad bug.

This brake things on karmic where pulseaudio is default sound system (choppy sound and more). The fix is simple: edit /etc/java-6-openjdk/sound.properties and change javax.sound.sampled.Clip=com.sun.media.sound.DirectAudioDeviceProvider javax.sound.sampled.Port=com.sun.media.sound.PortMixerProvider javax.sound.sampled.SourceDataLine=com.sun.media.sound.DirectAudioDeviceProvider javax.sound.sampled.TargetDataLine=com.sun.media.sound.DirectAudioDeviceProvider to javax.sound.sampled.Clip=org.classpath.icedtea.pulseaudio.PulseAudioMixerProvider javax.sound.sampled.Port=org.classpath.icedtea.pulseaudio.PulseAudioMixerProvider javax.sound.sampled.SourceDataLine=org.classpath.icedtea.pulseaudio.PulseAudioMixerProvider javax.sound.sampled.TargetDataLine=org.classpath.icedtea.pulseaudio.PulseAudioMixerProvider To reproduce try to use josm (javaopenstreetmap) and load some sound file... this will brake sound if you press pause and play again. After this fix, every thing working fine. lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu karmic (development branch) Release: 9.10 apt-cache policy openjdk-6-jre-headless openjdk-6-jre-headless: Installiert: 6b16~pre4-0ubuntu7 Kandidat: 6b16~pre4-0ubuntu7 Versions-Tabelle: *** 6b16~pre4-0ubuntu7 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-6/+bug/407299/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openjdk Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openjdk More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
