I've written a simple class which plays audio in an app. Only problem
now is the thread won't die and the app stays up.

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

import javax.sound.sampled.AudioFormat;
import javax.sound.sampled.AudioInputStream;
import javax.sound.sampled.AudioSystem;
import javax.sound.sampled.Clip;
import javax.sound.sampled.DataLine;
import javax.sound.sampled.LineEvent;
import javax.sound.sampled.LineListener;
import javax.sound.sampled.LineUnavailableException;
import javax.sound.sampled.UnsupportedAudioFileException;

/**
 * This class provides simple functions for playing sounds

public class SoundPlayer implements LineListener, Runnable
{
    private File soundFile;

    private Thread thread;

    private static SoundPlayer player;

    /**
     * Private because of the singleton
     */
    private SoundPlayer()
    {
    }

    /**
     * Play a siren sound
     */
    public static void playSiren()
    {
        SoundPlayer p = getPlayer();
        p.playSirenFile();
    }

    /**
     * Play the siren file
     */
    private void playSirenFile()
    {
        this.soundFile = new File("./audio/threeHorn.wav");
        thread = new Thread(this);
        thread.setName("SoundPlayer");
        thread.start();
    }

    /**
     * Invoked when the thread kicks off
     */
    public void run()
    {
        try
        {
            AudioInputStream stream = AudioSystem
                    .getAudioInputStream(this.soundFile);
            AudioFormat format = stream.getFormat();

            /**
             * we can't yet open the device for ALAW/ULAW playback, convert
             * ALAW/ULAW to PCM
             */
            if ((format.getEncoding() == AudioFormat.Encoding.ULAW)
                    || (format.getEncoding() == AudioFormat.Encoding.ALAW))
            {
                AudioFormat tmp = new AudioFormat(
                        AudioFormat.Encoding.PCM_SIGNED,
                        format.getSampleRate(),
                        format.getSampleSizeInBits() * 2, format.getChannels(),
                        format.getFrameSize() * 2, format.getFrameRate(), true);
                stream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(tmp, stream);
                format = tmp;
            }
            DataLine.Info info = new DataLine.Info(Clip.class, stream
                    .getFormat(), ((int) stream.getFrameLength() * format
                    .getFrameSize()));

            Clip clip = (Clip) AudioSystem.getLine(info);
            clip.addLineListener(this);
            clip.open(stream);
            clip.start();
            try
            {
                thread.sleep(99);
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
            }
            while (clip.isActive() && thread != null)
            {
                try
                {
                    thread.sleep(99);
                }
                catch (Exception e)
                {
                    break;
                }
            }
            clip.stop();
            clip.close();
