[11:26] <quar1> hi guys
[11:27] <quar1> i'm trying to get JAVA work with ALSA on a LTSP system
[11:27] <quar1>  set up a lab with LTSP and my clients play sounds from mp3s and normal audio
[11:27] <quar1> but not from JAVA software
[11:27] <quar1> people on #ltsp told me probably JAVA doesn't use ALSA
[11:27] <quar1> could it be possible?
[11:29] <persia> Which sound library were you using in Java?
[11:29] <quar1> i didn't modify anything since ubuntu hardy installation
[11:30] <quar1> i know clients use esd and server uses alsa
[11:36] <quar1> can JVM be instructed to use ALSA?
[11:37] <quar1> o other devices by terminal or by conf file?
[11:38] <persia> The JVM doesn't use a sound engine.  The default implementation of javax.audio was documented to use ALSA since Java 1.5.
[11:38] <persia> Other libraries may behave differently.
[11:40] <quar1> so it depends from software internal java code... a bad thing...
[11:40] <persia> Well, it depends on the library.  I'm not familiar enough with enough of the components you are using to suggest alternatives, and this is a development channel rather than a support channel.
[11:41] <quar1> ok i know
[11:41] <persia> If you can identify the library that is misbehaving, and generate a bug, there's a chance it can be fixed.  WIthout information about how the sound is being generated, it's rather hard to know where the problem may lie.
[11:42] <quar1> ok i'll search for MALTED source code...
[11:42] <quar1> thanx a lot
[11:42] <persia> quar1: Good luck, and feel free to come back and highlight the bug if you can find it.
[11:43] <quar1> of course, thank you
[11:46] <quar1> here i am
[11:46] <quar1> there's a player.java file
[11:46] <quar1> with inside: import javax.sound.sampled.*;
[11:47] <quar1> and import javax.media.*;
[11:47] <persia> I would have expected that to be ALSA.  Which JRE?
[11:47] <quar1> i use sun-java-6
[11:49] <persia> Right.  Please do file a bug then.  No idea when it can be fixed, as that package has very limited terms for modification, but at least it will be tracked.
[11:49] <quar1> can i open a bug in launchpad?
[11:51] <persia> quar1: Yes, that would be the right place.
[11:51] <persia> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sun-java6/+filebug
[11:56] <quar1> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ltsp/+bug/255667
[11:57] <persia> quar1: Thanks.
[11:58] <persia> It would likely be better if you could include the information you found from the MALTED source code.
[11:59] <quar1> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sun-java6/+bug/255668
[12:00] <quar1> double bug report, i'll track and reply both
[12:00] <persia> Don't worrt about 255668: I'll mark it duplicate
[12:02] <quar1> i noticed that now
[12:03] <quar1> ok i'll wait
[12:03] <quar1> thanks a lot
[13:23] <brousch> Is there a meeting in about 40 minutes today?
[13:25] <persia> About 100 minutes
[13:25] <persia> (Summer time in Britain can be confusing)
[13:38] <brousch> persia, thanks
[14:38] <robilad> hi Koon
[14:38] <robilad> how did maven work out so far?
[14:41] <Koon> robilad: I could not spend time on it recently. I stopped after writing the spec and building a patched package
[14:43] <robilad> cool, thanks
