Saving sound as byte array

[colin shuker]

Hi I posted this question in the I/O streams section, but there was little response, and I have a little more info now:

I've ommitted try/catch blocks for clarity,
I am able to play a sound using...

File file=new File("res/sounds/sound1.wav");
InputStream is=new FileInputStream(file);
AudioStream as=new AudioStream(is);
AudioPlayer.player.start(as);

Now, I can turn the file into bytes using..

File file=new File("res/sounds/sound1.wav");
AudioInputStream ais=AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(file);
byte[] data=new byte[ais.available()];
ais.read(data);

So what I would like to do is play a sound given a byte[]
I attempted this..., but it threw an Exception

byte[] data=some array of bytes
InputStream is=(InputStream)(new ByteArrayInputStream(data));
AudioStream as=new AudioStream(is);       // THROWS EXCEPTION //
AudioPlayer.player.start(as);

But AudioStram as=new AudioStream(is); throws an exception with message
-> "could not create audio stream from input stream"

Is there any way to solve this?
Thanks for any help
