After running any audio applet, e.g. audioitem, in netscape v3 browser,
the audio channel will be hung up until you exit netscape. iconifying
the browser or changing to a non-java-audio web-page does not help.

I believe that the problem is that there is no method to close-down the
audio channel after playing a clip.

I've been told that javasoft are aware and are doing something about
this - i'm just logging this bug so i can track it and it can get some
visibility in bugtool

please update the evaluation with how to go about remedying this.
if anyone knows a workaround put it in here i'd love to hear it.
