JDK-4516771 - Problems with applets: Freezing screen when playing sounds
Description
1. When playing a very short sound (i.e. less than 11ms) using Applet.getAudioClip(), the sound will play and a buzzing sound will continue to play, without ever stopping - except going to another page in the browser.

2. Playing a sound file in an applet takes a long time to begin and interrupts execution of current thread. It is estimated to be around 500ms, during which is e.g. a game screen is frozen.
