Exception while trying to play wav file

Question

Hello,
Right now I'm experimenting the J2ME WTK on a Motorola A1000 (still taking my first steps). I'm trying to play a .wav file but I keep getting this error:
.... MediaException: SymbianOS error=-5: Not supported
I'm using the following midlet code:
    Display display;
    Alert alert;
    Player player;
    public Midlet3()
        super();
        display = Display.getDisplay(this);
        alert = new Alert("MIDLET 3 - PLAYING MP3");
    protected void startApp() throws MIDletStateChangeException
        InputStream stream=null;
        try
            stream = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/newalert.wav");
            player = Manager.createPlayer(stream, "audio/x-wav");
            alert.setString("starting...");
            display.setCurrent(alert);
            player.realize();
            alert.setString(player.getContentType());
            display.setCurrent(alert);           
            Thread.sleep(1000);
            player.prefetch();
            alert.setString("going to play");
            display.setCurrent(alert);
            Thread.sleep(1000);           
            player.start();
....Am I doing something wrong? The .wav file is included in .jar file
Thanks in advance,
Paulo

Hi
So the wav file is included in a jar file which is in the resources directory of your application. Have you tried to put the wav file directly in the resources directory and see if it works?
Also, I think the order should be like this: player.prefetch();
player.realize();
player.start(); but I'm not sure if it is mandatory.
