Re-using AudioTrack instances

We've encountered the memory leak in the AudioTrack class (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=17995)

Is there anyway to re-use AudioTrack instances with different waveform data? The AudioTracks need to be in static mode for low latency.

We basically want allocate (for example) 16 AudioTrack instances and re-use them whenever we play some sound-fx. The problem seems to be writing to an AudioTrack that has been used causes a crash, even if the AudioTrack has been stopped.

Anyone care to help up out please? Is what I'm trying to do even possible?

Thank you,

Steve.

If you are trying to use a limited number of tracks have you tried using static mode?

From @Steve Haggerty's comment below: there is reportedly a memory leak in certain versions of Android, and STREAM mode is to be preferred for all development work.
