1.3.0 kestrelFixed

Build   : 'P'
app     : JavaSound / TestSound
OS      : NT primarily but Win98/95 fails as well.

JavaSound not functional due to failures to load/play any audio files.   Replicatable on all my of my test machines.

On NT:
1. java -jar JavaSound.jar
2. click on the first file: ambient.rmf

- you should noticed one of the following:

EVALUATION This bug appears on some machines on WinNT and perhaps on other Win32 operating systems. It does not appear on all machines (including mine and Jan's). :) The last putback introduced code for querying the particular set of formats supported by an audio device. In this code, I was allocating a significant amount of memory from the heap. Even if this memory is explicitly freed, memory allocation in the nOpenMixer method fails on some machines. I no longer dynamically allocate memory from the heap in the format-query code. I have tested this fix on some systems affected by the bug. I believe that the bug is fixed, but look forward to the test team's evaluation on their full suite of machines. kara.kytle@Eng 1999-12-01 robert.h.kim@Eng 2000-01-26 Verified in Build fcs 'T'
