I’m facing a project with audio streaming, as a client and a server. Would Java be a good choice for the server app?
I’ve read in other questions that because of performance C++ is the best choice for this kind of app.

If you are more comfortable with C++ or Java, I would use that. You can write a low pause server in either language.
A streaming server is mostly about passing lots of data from A to B i.e. the I/O matters. Unless you plan to compress the stream on the fly, the CPU performance is unlikely to be important.
Even if you are doing on the fly compression and Java isn’t fast enough for that, you can call a library (preferably one already written/tested) to do this via JNI and still write most of the server in Java.
