OK, this bug seems related: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
/sun-java6/+bug/457144

So the options are to either  to copy libpulse-java.so and pulse-
java.jar from openjdk to sun-java6, or use openjdk.

Sound doesn't work under ALSA without aoss

Status in “openjdk-6” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete

Bug description:
When I try to use a Java program that uses sound (I tried with "processing" from processing.org), Java complains that the sound device cannot be opened:

==== JavaSound Minim Error ====
==== Couldn't open the line: Audio Device Unavailable

This error seems to be a generic Java error, not specific to "processing".

I am using ALSA for sound (i.e. I don't have PulseAudio running), and everything else (mpd, Sonata, Flash, sox, mplayer, vlc, xine &c.) seems to work fine. If I run processing with "aoss processing" then it works fine, but as far as I can see it should work either with ALSA or with PulseAudio.

I have the same problem if I use sun-java6 rather than openjdk.
