PLEASE What audio device is java linux looking for???

[Chip Grandits <chipg@frii.com>]

I cannot get java-linux to make any sound using the AudioClip.play() method
When I run the any applet which should play sound, when the sound is to play I get:

no audio device
audio player exited

(running with -debug, yeilds no additional information)
I can play sound with other applications.
The appletviewer (.java_wrapper) has setuid root
I have a /dev/dsp and /dev/audio
IS JAVA-LINUX LOOKING FOR SOMETHING ELSE!!!
Do these devices need some special characteristics?

I need some specific info on HOW blackdown implements sound,
what does Blackdown's JVM do?!

I've downloaded applets written by James Gosling for sun for the purpose of
showinghow easy it is to play a sound.  It doesn't work! Nothing works, not from
O'Reilly
nothing I've written works, see goofy attached files.

What is XGalaga?

Excellent Idea!Did that!
Got the latest Driverrs from OSS!
got old code out of the way, untarred new code
ran make xconfig, make dep, make clean, make zImage, copied image, ran /sbin/lilo
rebooted:
Still doesn't work.

If I can't figure out how this works, the Microsoft JVM is how all our code will be
tested!
I will be staying late at work to reformat the HD on our linux box to re-install
windows 95
