Bug#717064: libcortado-java: Missing an example to show how to workaroundsecurity issues

[jmg]

Package: libcortado-java
Version: 0.6.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

I would like to understand why sound does not work in freecol.
Bug#717048
As freecol uses cortado, I was wondering if sound works in cortado.


   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

I opened the ogg file in iceweasel, and it works.

I tried to make an applet work with iceweasel, this requires activating java which is not activated usually for security purpose.
But the applet does not work in iceweasel.

Then, I copied the cortado jar to a directory and I tried to launch cortado with applet viewer.

 appletviewer  -J-classpath -J/tmp/jar/:$CLASSPATH /tmp/html.html 

   * What was the outcome of this action?

This produces an exception message but does not work as expected.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

I was assuming the software would output a sound to the hardware.

For me an example should be provided with the library to know which way to use to test the library.
