The first one on the list was one of the sites that I had in mind when I complained about them. It's a problem a lot of newbies in a subject area have, dealing with sites written by techies who are deeply immersed in the subject area. The same goes for the wikipedia sites. I need an Alsa for Dummies website.
Sorry if I gave the impression that I was writing a Java app myself - I just called it 'my java app' because it's the only real java app on the machine and the machine's only purpose is to keep it running. I shouldn't have been messing around with mics and stuff.
I do code java, but I've never tried to do sound. Regards Adam
