Hello,
I'm attempting to play a small WAV file on my FreeBSD box, running
4.4-STABLE and jdk1.3.1. Using the method described in almost every
Java sound tutorial I've found results in the application simply
waiting forever. Here is the source code that I'm using:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
import java.io.*;
import java.applet.*;
public class SoundTest {
public static void main(String[] argv) {
try {
File file = new File(argv[0]);
AudioClip clip = Applet.newAudioClip(file.toURL());
clip.play();
}
catch(Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Running the code results in no sound, and the jvm sitting at about
12% CPU usage until I ^C it. Is there another way to play an audio
clip that I should try? Is the JDK capable of playing audio clips
at all? Does the WAV file have to be in any particular format? I
used the example (correctly encoded) WAV file provided on Sun's
JavaSound Tutorial site. Any hints, pointers, or working example
code will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
~brian
