Differences between appletloader natives and dll natives?

[paulscode]

I solved the problem.  I was WAY off track with the whole natives discussion.

SOLUTION (IMPORTANT FOR ANYONE USING SOUND IN THEIR APPLET!):
Sound must not be initialized in an applet's init() method!

Simply moving the code out of the init() method fixed it.  Yes ... it was that simple.  Probably a thread issue, couldn't say.

you should blame your own code before the library you are using 

Sound advice, oh wise javalwjgl ...
