Ok, I may not be the last one to ask this, but hey.
I installed Fedora 12 (and got it up and running - wow) and installed the Sun JRE. I tested the thing on ... Runescape, and got no sounds...ya know, the birds, the chopping sounds, the works.
I checked in the hardware tab of the sound app and did not find ALSA there, though it is (possibly) installed, as I have used the alsa mixer.
Any clues as to get the sound going? This is killing my current project, so any help is very welcome, thanks!

It's not clear from your post whether you system has sound regardless of JRE (about which I know nothing).
Well, everything has sound, and I can hear music (midi?) from an applet, but no sounds. I suspect these to be routed elsewhere. The question is where does the sound go, i do not get exceptions in the console, so I suspect the JRE to be happy...
Where/how do I (fine)tune the JRE? Do I need ALSA and/or Pluseaudio in F12?
