Does it work to mix OpenAL with JavaSound/JMF?

[William]

I would like to use 3d sound in my application and since Java3D's sound support seems to be broken I have been thinking of trying OpenAL. However, I also need to play video sequences with sound through JMF while playing environmental sound effects, so now I am wondering if anyone has tried playing sound using JMF or JavaSound and OpenAL at the same time?

i dont see why it wouldnt work.. there shouldnt be any interference between the two apis..

so i would say give it a try..

Well, it might not work for the same reason that Winamp and JMF won't play sound at the same time.

I might try implementing it, but right now my project schedule does not really allow spending hours on learning an API that might not work with the rest of my application. I was mainly looking for a quick yes or no from someone who had already tried it.
