<Sound Dev> Comment on bug JDK-8013586

[Dan Rollo]

If this approach is taken, I’d like to suggest using a ‘final’ var instead of ‘null init/null check’, for example:

public AudioInputStream getAudioInputStream(File file)
        throws UnsupportedAudioFileException, IOException {

    final FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
    try {
        return getAudioInputStream(new BufferedInputStream(fis));
    } catch(IOException|UnsupportedAudioFileException e) {
        throw e;
    } finally {
        fis.close();
    }
}

>>> See how there is no attempt to close the FileInputStream if an exception is thrown?  A file handle will remain open on the file until garbage collection is run. Since garbage collection may never run, the file handle may remain open until the JVM exits. And on Windows the open file handle prevents the file from being deleted, which is problematic.

As such, all subclasses of AudioFileReader in the JRE should be reviewed for this problem.
