Of course not. ;) I just found it like this. I could easily convert it
in wav.


Then try something along these lines (it
is even easier for an applet)..

<sscce>
import javax.sound.sampled.Clip;
import javax.sound.sampled.AudioSystem;
import javax.sound.sampled.LineUnavailableException;
import javax.sound.sampled.AudioInputStream;

import java.net.*;
import javax.swing.*;

class PlayClip {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    URL soundLocation = new URL(
      "file:C:/the.wav");
    // can use one clip many times
    Clip clip = AudioSystem.getClip();

    AudioInputStream inputStream =
      AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(soundLocation);
    clip.open( inputStream );
    clip.loop(50);
    clip.start();

    // kludge to prevent the main() from exiting.
    JFrame f = new JFrame();
    f.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );

    f.getContentPane().add( new
      JLabel(soundLocation.toURI().toString()) );
    f.pack();

    f.setVisible(true);
  }}

</sscce>

That is exactly the code I was looking for.. ;)

Just in case you know even more, I am using openSuSE 10.3.. I did
convert the files in wav and they play just fine. But when I run this
code (I create a thread so multiple sounds can play simultaneous) I
get this error:

I'm not expecting you to answer. Just in case you know better (I hate
the sound system in linux).
