public class AudioPlayer
extends Thread
This classprovides an interface to play multiple channels of 8 bit ulaw encoded, 8000hz, single channel audio. Note that it provides a temporary and very Solaris specific solution, the APIs are likely to change when this is generalize to work on different platforms.

To play an audio stream use: 

	AudioPlayer.player.start(audiostream);
To stop playing an audio stream use: 
	AudioPlayer.player.stop(audiostream);
To play an audio stream from a URL use: 
	AudioStream audiostream = new AudioStream(url.openStream());
	AudioPlayer.player.start(audiostream);
To play a continuous sound you first have to create an AudioData instance and use it to construct a ContinuousAudioDataStream. For example: 
	AudoData data = new AudioStream(url.openStream()).getData();
	ContinuousAudioDataStream audiostream = new ContinuousAudioDataStream(data);
	AudioPlayer.player.stop(audiostream);
