What are the benefits of Java Sound?

Java Sound allows consistent, reliable, high-quality audio on all Java-enabled platforms. Developers have the assurance their audio content will sound great across all platforms, with the only requirement being a simple digital to audio converter (DAC). Java Sound uses only a small amount of a system's CPU to process sound files. For example: a 24-voice MIDI file uses only 20% of the CPU on a Pentium 90 MHz system.

Who determined that sound needs a medium through which to travel?

FAQ
In the 1660s, English scientist Robert Boyle proved that sound waves need to travel through a medium in order to transmit sound. To prove this, Boyle placed a bell inside a vacuum and showed that as the air was evacuated from the chamber, the sound of the bell became softer and softer, until there was no sound.

a Java programmer, Active Tags is it suitable for my needs ?

RefleX
It depends on how you design your application. If you have to build a modularizable application that relies on a configuration file for instanciating, plugging, and parameterizing your objects, then you are encouraged to consider Active Tags seriously. With a traditional approach, you will create a Java class that read your configuration file, instanciate your objects and link them together.

What about Java?

Amulet FAQ
The User Interface Software Group first created a tool called Garnet in Lisp in 1988, and then in Summer of 1994 started working on Amulet. It took about a calendar year, and over 4 man-years of work to create Amulet, without much research contributions. Therefore, we are reticient to start yet another conversion. Java and C++ are enough different that we feel we would want to do a redesign and not just a transliteration.

What about sound?

Frequently Asked Questions — Fanlight Productions Vide...
Sound quality is just as important as picture quality, but is often given less attention by producers. We reject far more films because of unacceptable audio quality than because of poor photography. During production, pay as much attention to microphone selection and placement as to camera angles — it will pay off in a better, and more marketable, film.

Pacman - Source
There are at least two reasons. First, many more can share the joy of the game when it runs on many different platforms (e.g. on Linux - it was actually implemented in Linux). Second, I like Sun Microsystems. The Java Foundation Classes (JFC) from Sun are very well structured and abstracted in contrast to the extremely awful Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) or the slightly less awful basic windows platform (WIN32).
