                    <p>The JOAL Project hosts a reference implementation of the 
                      Java bindings for OpenAL API, and is designed to provide 
                      hardware-supported 3D spatialized audio for games written 
                      in Java. It is part of a suite of open-source technologies 
                      initiated by the Game Technology Group at Sun Microsystems, 
                      with intention of making the development of high performance 
                      games in Java a reality.</p>
                    <p>This project also hosts the Sound3D Toolkit, a high level 
                      API for spatialized audio built on top of the OpenAL bindings. 
                      This toolkit is designed to provide access to all the features 
                      of OpenAL through an intuitive, easy to use, object-oriented 
                      interface. </p>
