Java: Java Sound is very very cool. A couple of years ago I was frustrated using JMF, so I stopped investing time to do Java sound stuff. Few weeks ago I discovered again Java Sound because I was looking for mp3 playback. Regretfully mp3 is not part of JS (but it is since years a top 20 RFE) due to to mp3 license problems, but javazoom offers a nice MP3 Java Service Provider which easily extends Java Sound to play mp3. Same for OGG Vorbis (see also JOrbis. Both are LGPL.
An alternative Java Sound implementations exists for Gnu/Linux: tritonus. They also provide a couple of plug-ins (which mainly also run on other OS): GSM 06.10 codes, OGG vorbis, Sequencer, alsa mixer, DSP (amplitude conversion), AudioOutputStream , Converters (pmc, alaw, u-law, sample rate, ADPCM).
