Alas, Java only handles 8kHz mono .au format, at my last use of it...
Otherwise I'd been fiddling with it for a while.  There's a routine I'll
put on my area sometime soon if you like, that I tested a while ago, using
up to 8 separate .au files, mixed together and randomly implemented... 
But, without Stereo, sound is still a novelty act on any PC in my opinion. 
We can thank the Sun folks, or UNIX, or just Java-in-general for this
little problem.  So no amount of Mac vitriol or side comments need apply.

Perhaps a rotating, er, LOOPING list of some of our work would be in order
for this...  I'm starting to wonder if the routine talked about might be
the same one - but not being able to get into the site, one can only guess.
 I get a Site not Found message.
