Use of direct buffers when loading WAV files

Java Sound & OpenAL
#1

Each time you load a WAV sound file using JOAL you get a new direct buffer allocated? Does this not create problems if you want (like I do) to repeatedly load sound files?

Would JOAL work if the WAVLoader code allocated an indirect buffer instead?

#2

JOAL will still work if the WAVLoader was rewritten to use indirect buffers. JOAL doesn’t make any distinction between the 2 when converting them into OpenAL buffer objects.
