Sound plays insanely fast

Question

I'm trying to play a wave file via the javax.sound packaged classes. The sound I'm trying to play is about 5 secs long. However the below code actually plays it at about five times the speed, as well as making the pitch much higher (sounds like a tape recorder on fast forward). To add insult to injury, there's a burst of static at the end, and the program itself never naturally exits. Ideas?
package gov.nasa.gsfc.garnet.desktopclient;
import javax.sound.sampled.SourceDataLine;
import javax.sound.sampled.AudioSystem;
import javax.sound.sampled.Line;
import javax.sound.sampled.LineUnavailableException;
import javax.sound.sampled.AudioInputStream;
import javax.sound.sampled.UnsupportedAudioFileException;
import javax.sound.sampled.AudioFormat;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

public abstract class SoundPlayer
    public static void play(File source)
            throws LineUnavailableException, UnsupportedAudioFileException,
            IOException
        SourceDataLine line = (SourceDataLine)AudioSystem.getLine(
                new Line.Info(SourceDataLine.class));
        AudioInputStream in = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(source);
        AudioFormat format = in.getFormat();
        line.open(format);
        final int READ_BUFFER_SIZE = (int)format.getSampleRate() *
                format.getFrameSize();
        byte[] buffer = new byte[READ_BUFFER_SIZE];
        line.start();
        int bytesRead = 0;
        while (bytesRead >= 0)
            bytesRead = in.read(buffer, 0, buffer.length);
            if (bytesRead >= 0)
                line.write(buffer, 0, buffer.length);
        line.drain();
        line.stop();
        line.close();
        in.close();
    public static void main(String[] args)
        File f = new File("/path/to/file.wav"); // this is on OS X, by the way
        try
            System.out.println("Starting playback...");
            play(f);
            System.out.println("play() returned");
        catch (Exception e)
            e.printStackTrace();
}
