40642 - Sounds will fail when resources are packaged into jars

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: XUL, defect, P3)

Description

I don't know what component this falls under.  Please correct it if I got it wrong.

Hyatt has looked at some of the code that would break if we jarred all our
resources.  One thing he found was that we convert URIs into pathnames to open
sound files through the GTK.  This will fail after jarring because the jar isn't
the sound file.  It needs to be fixed to use streaming.  Further details from Hyatt.

Adding skins keyword because jarring is mainly for skins.

are sounds in for beta2?  if so, this needs to be fixed.

Nominating for nsbeta2.  We need to decide in PDT if sound support is required 
for nsbeta2.  JARs are not really a skin issue, JAR support is a issue having to 
do with the number of files installed with Netscape 6 and disk footprint.  If we 
decide to turn on JAR support we will need to fix GTK sounds because they use 
code that goes to the sound file with a file path rather than a chrome path and a 
stream.  My feeling is that if we decide to activate JARs for nsbeta2 then we 
should fix the sound code for nsbeta2.

this isn't just GTK, changing summary

Putting on [nsbeta2-] radar. Not critical to beta2.  But adding perf and nsbeta3 
keyword to get done for PR3.
