'Restarting and pausing and resuming clip hangs the gui of music player, while pressing pause and play resumes playing from stopping point

This program is a music player that allows user to pick a .wav file, play, pause, resume, and restart a the music file from a clip object and audioinput stream. The audio input stream loads a file that is determined by user via FileChooser. The program can play, pause, and resume by selecting a file, pressing play, pause, then play again, but does not play using the restart method or the resume method invoked via the respective buttons. Instead, the program hangs until the X button is clicked. I think it has something to do with the resetaudiostream method, but I am unsure what. Maybe something to do with ending the old clip and creating a new clip instance. Please review the logic and let me know what is making it hang and how that could be remedied.

It is quiet simple to get the required functionality with a MediaPlayer:

import java.net.URI;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.layout.GridPane;
import javafx.scene.media.Media;
import javafx.scene.media.MediaPlayer;
import javafx.scene.media.MediaPlayer.Status;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.util.Duration;
    
/*
 * If you get "cannot access class com.sun.glass.utils.NativeLibLoader" exception you may need to
 * add a VM argument: --add-modules javafx.controls,javafx.media as explained here:
