I am working on a Java applet that uses javax.sound.midi.sequencer to play a MIDI sequence. For this to work, the visitor must have a sound bank installed on his / her computer. Apparently, the Windows JRE does not come with a sound bank, and you need to download separately from http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/sound/soundbanks.html. However, you can load the sound bank from a file without having to go through the installation process. So this brings me to my question: does anyone know where I can find a redistributable (open source) JavaSound-compatible sound bank? Alternatively, is there a way in which I can legally redistribute Sun's sound banks to the URL above without redistributing the entire JRE? I want to have a sound bank that my applet can load on the fly from a file.
