Description
AUDIODEV environment variable not used for audio control (audioctl)




On Solaris, JavaSound queries $AUDIODEV to find the name of the audio device to open; instead of hardcoding to use "/dev/audio".  This is good.  However, it fails to use a
similar scheme for the corresponding control device.  "/dev/audioctl" is hardcoded there.  This will cause problems for SunRay which uses a pseudo device of something like "utaudio/20".  The fix is to simply
append "ctl" to $AUDIODEV to get the control device, i.e.
"utaudio/20ctl". This might also affect creative labs' soundcard
