EVALUATION ###@###.### 2003-03-19 On Linux, OSS sound drivers "hang" when you want to open an audio device that is in use by another device. I'd consider this as a bug in OSS, but Java Sound should work around it by sensing if it would hang and then report an error to Java Sound instead of hanging. Serious problem should be fixed asap.
