java

Every time I run a java application, one of two things happen:

Either I lose sound in all other programs (even after quitting the java app)
or if some other application is already playing sound, the said java app doesn't have sound

Usually this can be fixed by running pulseaudio --kill from the command line, but it doesn't always work.

Is there a way to fix this problem?

This didn't happen before the upgrade to karmic.

Other info:

The java I'm using is Sun's Java
