Audio Enhancements

Audio enhancements include a new sound engine and a new static method.

Java Sound replaces the existing sound engine with a new sound engine that provides playback for MIDI files and the full range of .wav, aiff and .au files. It also provides much higher sound quality. This introduces no new API.

The java.applet.Applet class will include a new static method that allow applications to create AudioClips without requiring an AppletContext.
