[advocacy] JavaOne Conference and "Tiger" (J2SE 1.5)

[Dave H]

Hello,

I note in passing that one of the Birds-of-a-Feather sessions at this 
years JavaOne (June 10-13th) will be entitled "What's New in Java Sound 
API in Tiger".  See 
<http://servlet.java.sun.com/javaone/sf2003/conf/sessions/display-1885.jsp>.

("Tiger" is the codename for J2SE (Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition) 
version 1.5.)

The BOF focuses on Java's sound API and enticingly suggests, "For 
example, find out if mp3 or ogg/vorbis will be finally supported, or if 
professional support for multi-channel soundcards is on its way into the 
Java technology core."

Another of the three sound-related sessions is entitled "Distributed 
Music -- Jam with Java Sound API, Project JXTA, and ogg/vorbis"; 
apparantly it will discuss the hows and whys of choosing Ogg Vorbis for 
compression.

Does this truly mean Vorbis will be supported, by default, in all future 
Java implementations?  If so I think it's a major boost for Vorbis and 
the Java community alike!

(Bah! If only I could go. ;o)

Regards,

Dave
