      Description

        ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
        JDK 16.0.01+9
        Ubuntu 18.04.6

        A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
        Thread 1

        Calls
        clip.setMicrosecondPosition(0);
        to move clip to start
        If this has the following stack trace holding the lock on the DirectAudioDevice object and waiting for the lock for attribute lock
        As seen in the following stack trace
            
        synchronized DirectAudioDevice.setMicrosecondPosition(long microseconds) {
            ...
            setFramePosition(frames);
            ...
        }
            
        DirectAudioDevice.setFramePosition(int frames) {
            ...
            flush();
            ...
        }

        DirectAudioDevice.flush() {
            ...
            synchronized(lock) {
               lock.notifyAll();
            }
            ...
        }

        Daemon Thread [Direct Clip]

        At the same time is running the clip writing data out the stream and holds the lock on the lock attribute and is waiting for the lock on the DirectAudioDevice object
        As seen in the following stack trace

        DirectAudioDevice.run() {
            ...
            int written = write(audioData, clipBytePosition, toWriteBytes)
            ...
        }

        DirectAudioDevice.write(byte[] b, int off, int len) {
            ...
            synchronized(lock) {
                if (!isActive() && doIO) {
                    // this is not exactly correct... would be nicer
                    // if the native sub system sent a callback when IO really
                    // starts
                    setActive(true);
                    setStarted(true);
                }
            }
            ...
        }

        DirectAudioDevice.setActive(boolean active) {
            synchronized (this) {
                 if (this.active != active) {
                        this.active = active;
                        //sendEvents = true;
                 }
            }
        }

        Is it wise / right to lock on the object and an attribute? Why do we not use a single semaphore?
        If we do need two, the the order must be the same in all stack traces to avoid deadlock.


        STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
        See stack trace demonstrating how deadlock can occur in description

        EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
        EXPECTED -
        System stops with deadlock
        ACTUAL -
        System stops with deadlock (It is my AWT Event Thread calling setMicrosecondPosition())

        FREQUENCY : occasionally
