Notes:

Use the service pack for Solaris/WinNT, rather than the pure Java version. The pure java version does not work. JMF 2.1.1e (May 2003) claims to work for Linux, but some users have reported delay problems on both Linux and OSX. Also, full-duplex audio may or may not work.

Make sure to have the classpaths specified as in their readme's and also the JMFHOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH (for sun) environment variable pointing to the JMF directory, so java can link in the native libraries.
