I am playing of a sound-file in Java, and is looking for a simple way to determine when the sound-file has finished playing so I can kill the thread. Is there a simple way to accomplish this?

You play sound either synchronously or asynchronously.
In case you play it synchronously (blocking the calling thread), you know when the sound ends playing — your code gain control then.
In case you play it asynchronously (allowing a different thread to be created), the helper thread will terminate itself right after finishing playing.
P.S.
Please share your observations on memory leaking and reasons underneath the question.
