Unsure on the validity of this, but:
You can code a program in Java in such a fashion that it will run as
*either* an applet or an application (so you could use the same code). Not
sure if this lets you use Applet libraries in your application (probably
not), but I can't believe the Application libs would be wholly without
sound support. :)
