I wonder about the limitation to `java.io.File` as source for sound clips. Allowing playback from an `InputStream` allows developers to use their own packaging, compression, bundling, or use dynamically generated sound clips, and to work around missing file access permissions. How about this additional factory method:

 public static SoundClip createSoundClip(InputStream file) throws IOException;

The implementation is simple, because it boils down to an InputStream internally anyway, and testing is equally simple.
