Please help me jmf question

Question

Hi i want to create custom data source as i have read in different post and also on sun site
I tried to create one one for my self,
where am getting stream from tcp port.
before that i test the data by using socket programming, i saved the input stream into file and played and its working fine and then i transfer that file using avtransmiter2.java and it work fine again its mean it confirm that the data i am getting from skype is working fine . now my question is how to get that input stream and instead of saving to the file i can play it using jmf player or send it on rtp session. i read different post how to create custom data source from inputstreams but have not work for me ... i modified a user code posted http://archives.java.sun.com/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0106&L=jmf-interest&D=0&P=25865 in that post some body recommanded to implement seekable so i implemented that one als in that code..... below is the code
the error is
LoadInputStream.loadBytes() - realizing player
Exception in thread "JMF thread: com.sun.media.PlaybackEngine@8ed465[ com.sun.media.PlaybackEngine@8ed465 ] ( configureThread)" java.lang.NullPointerException

i need urgent help to this matter so please help me in that i would be very thankfulll ......
below is the code
skype use the standard audio format
Audio format
File: WAV PCM
Sockets: raw PCM samples
16 KHz mono, 16 bit

Use a BufferedImage where you draw the other images.
You have to know the size.
For example if the size is (50*50) for each image :
int width =50;
int height = 50;
BufferedImage bufIm = new BufferedImage(width*3,height*3,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
Graphics gr = bufIm.createGraphics();
int k, j;
Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
Image imTemp;
for (k = 0; k<3; k++) {
    for (j = 0; j<3; j++) {
        imTemp = tk.getImage(imageNames[k][j]);
        gr.drawImage(imTemp,width*k,height*j, this); // replace this by the Image observer you want (this if you are in a panel for example)
}After that bufIm contains the images as you want and you can paint it on a Graphics.
