[Nix-dev] Sound in Minecraft?

[Aristid Breitkreuz]

Oh, it seems that I just have to make sure there is no other sound producer
active, because Minecraft uses the oldest imaginable sound API which does
not support multiple producers or something.

I wonder why it doesn't just use ALSA. OpenAL is supposed to support ALSA,
no?
