Sound System problems with cleanup and backgroundMusic

[FabianLC]

I've been trying to prevent the Sound System from "crashing", but I haven't succeeded yet, I'm using the LWJGL library and the code does fails in two situations, when I play background music and during a cleanup. Here's what the console prints.

Exception in thread "Thread-11" java.lang.NullPointerException
   at paulscode.sound.codecs.CodecJOrbis.initialize(CodecJOrbis.java:259)
   at paulscode.sound.libraries.SourceLWJGLOpenAL.play(SourceLWJGLOpenAL.java:616)

   at paulscode.sound.SoundSystem.CommandQueue(SoundSystem.java:2438)
   at paulscode.sound.CommandThread.run(CommandThread.java:121)

and this happens during cleanup and makes my game freeze for a while

I've also been wondering if it's normal to have that many threads, I've gotten errors up to thread 22.

Exception in thread "Thread-22" java.lang.NullPointerException

   at paulscode.sound.Source.stream(Source.java:928)
   at paulscode.sound.StreamThread.run(StreamThread.java:129)

My code:
if(!musicLoaded) {
   soundSystem.backgroundMusic(mus, path, loop);
   //soundSystem.play(mus);
   musicLoaded=true;
}
else {
   soundSystem.stop(mus);
   soundSystem.removeSource(mus);
   soundSystem.backgroundMusic(mus, path, loop);
   //soundSystem.play(mus);
}
mus is just a string I made to avoid writing "";
I call cleanup() whenever I change the game's state or level, because the memory usage keeps going up, and even after calling cleanup() it still goes up.

SoundSystem should only create two new threads.  One thread is for handling streaming sources (it feeds data into the streams, and handles transitions) and the other thread is for processing commands synchronously.  I am aware of a race condition between the command thread and streaming thread, which CreativeMD reported.  Since there is mention of streams in your crash log, it could be related to this defect.
