Description/symptom of problem:  
JR33246 resolves the following problem:

ERROR DESCRIPTION:                                              
A warning message indicating that a ALContext is deprecated; is 
displayed in the problems window. However the documentation     
suggests that the SPI can be used.                              
                                                                
                                                                
An interim fix will be created to supress the warning message

LOCAL FIX:                                                      
ignore the warning message.
