Some help with sounds plz ;p

Question

First of all, congrats for the forum ^^ great ideas here :)
Well, i'm working with a friend in a multiplayer space combat game (nameless nowdays) implemented with jsdk5. The game uses a thread to update each player object and then repaint a "main" jframe where all the things happen. I was trying to add sounds to the game, so after trying all sort of things i created a Sonido class, with a play(int clip) method that creates a thread whose run() method plays the clip identified by clip. Somethig like this:
        Audioclip[] sonidos;
     public static void play(int clip){
          final int c = clip;
               Thread reproductor = new Thread(Ship2.mGrafico){
                    public void run(){
                         sonidos[c].play();
          reproductor.start();
     }Even doing that the clip only seems to sounds when i call loop() instead of play(). why? i don't know.

Check out the bug database.
Bug ID 5070730, 5085008, 6186076.
They are all essentially the same bug. What it means is that JDK 1.5/1.6 does not play sounds less than 1 second. If sounds are very important to you don't upgrade until this bug is fixed (or loop until it is). If you need to use JDK 1.5 upgrade whenever there is a new version and hopefully it will be fixed soon. I wouldn't hold my breath though. ;)
