MikMod for Java Applets

Release Date: Wednesday, November 22, 2006

We have made some minor changes for JMikMod, the MikMod port for Java so that it can be used with Applets and also Java 1.1 compliant, i.e. it can be used with Microsoft JVM which only supports Sun Audio.

We have managed to make a small driver to use the Sun Audio Player (8bit 8khz) and we made some code changes to make JMikMod not file based but based on a byte[] (due to not being able to use RandomAccessFile on the internet) The SunAudio driver we did uses a thread sleep since the SunAudio player apparently doesn't really support a buffer (and the documentation is really scarse)
