From the AudioInputStream, i.e. from the sound file,

Asking for a line is a rather tricky thing.
We have to construct an Info object that specifies
the desired properties for the line.
First, we have to say which kind of line we want. The
possibilities are: SourceDataLine (for playback), Clip
(for repeated playback) and TargetDataLine (for
recording).
Here, we want to do normal playback, so we ask for
a SourceDataLine.
Then, we have to pass an AudioFormat object, so that
the Line knows which format the data passed to it
will have.
Furthermore, we can give Java Sound a hint about how
big the internal buffer for the line should be. This
isn't used here, signaling that we
don't care about the exact size. Java Sound will use
some default value for the buffer size.

Ok, finally the line is prepared. Now comes the real
job: we have to write data to the line. We do this
in a loop. First, we read data from the
AudioInputStream to a buffer. Then, we write from
this buffer to the Line. This is done until the end
of the file is reached, which is detected by a
return value of -1 from the read method of the
AudioInputStream.

Wait until all data are played.
