I and some other folks are experimenting with an open source voice chat program that uses
applets to send sound between groups of PCs through our website server (as opposed to directly between PCs, or using one of the PCs as the server). The program sends sound in .au format (Sun's format). Someone claimed that this would give us problems with Macs, because Macs don't use .au format.
Does anyone know if this is true? I thought that with applets,
Java itself would take care of handling sound files, and whatever, through the virtual machine associated with the browser (We havn't found anyone with a Mac to try it out on yet).
PS: If that IS a potential problem, is there some other preferred sound format that is likely to work across different types of OSs and machines?
