Problems with sound after installing sun java

["Vegard Lundby Rekaa" <vegardlr@student.matnat.uio.no>]

When I start XMMS to play my MP3 files, I get the error message that the
soundcard may be configured incorrectly or the sound card is occcupied by
another task. This was not a problem untill I installed Sun java system
for my mozilla browser (filename of the java prog.:
j2re-1_4_2_05-linux-i586.bin). What have I screwed up?

OS: Debian Sarge
Kernel: 2.4.26
