Why do call AudioPlayer.stop() ?
AudioPlayer.start() - implicitly spawns a thread to send the audio data to
the audio device via a stream buffer.
Calling AudioPlayer.stop() - terminates the thread, n'est pas ?
Unless your program exits soon after AudioPlayer.start() you
do not need to sleep for X milliseconds.
