Package: sun-java6-plugin Version: 6.20-dlj-4 Severity: wishlist Hi,
If I run jars with padsp java -jar <jar>, sound works great. If I just run java -jar <jar>, the sound gets lost in what has become known as the terrifying jungle of Linux audio (http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/2007/05/) and never makes it to my speakers. It'd be great if somehow all java programs -- but in particular applets since they are trickier to run through padsp -- could somehow check for PulseAudio and, if it's present, run the applet through padsp (or maybe an even better solution than this!). Probably a simple bash script would suffice. Thanks for all your hard work! -Garrett -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages sun-java6-plugin depends on: ii iceweasel 3.5.9-3 Web browser based on Firefox ii libasound2 1.0.23-1 shared library for ALSA applicatio ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-3 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.1.1-3 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxi6 2:1.3-4 X11 Input extension library ii libxt6 1:1.0.7-1 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii libxtst6 2:1.1.0-2 X11 Testing -- Resource extension ii sun-java6-bin 6.20-dlj-4 Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment ( sun-java6-plugin recommends no packages. sun-java6-plugin suggests no packages. -- no debconf information __ This is the maintainer address of Debian's Java team <http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-maintainers>.
