how can I wait for a java sound clip to finish playing back?

Question

I am using the following code to play a sound file using the java sound API.

    Clip clip = AudioSystem.getClip();
    AudioInputStream inputStream = AudioS

I prefer this way in Java 8:

CountDownLatch syncLatch = new CountDownLatch(1);

try (AudioInputStream stream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(inStream)) {
  Clip clip = AudioSystem.getClip();

  // Listener which allow method return once sound is completed
  clip.addLineListener(e -> {
    if (e.getType() == LineEvent.Type.STOP) {
      syncLatch.countDown();
    }
  });

  clip.open(stream);
  clip.start();
}

syncLatch.await();
