Play looping audio using AudioTrack

I have a feature I want to transition over to use Androids AudioTrack instead of MediaPlayer, due to a few well known bugs with MediaPlayer, such as the small gap that appears between looping tracks.

I've been recommended to use AudioTrack but haven't found to many examples of it in use. I did find a question on SO regarding AudioTrack and used some of that code to hack together something:

public class TestActivity extends Activity implements Runnable {      Button playButton;     byte[] byteData = null;     int bufSize;     AudioTrack myAT = null;     Thread playThread = null;      @Override     public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);         setContentView(R.layout.activity_test);          playButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.testButton);          InputStream inputStream = getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.whitenoise_wav);         try {             byteData = new byte[ inputStream.available()];         } catch (IOException e) {             e.printStackTrace();         }          try {             inputStream.read(byteData);             inputStream.close();         } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {             e.printStackTrace();         } catch (IOException e) {             e.printStackTrace();         }          initialize();          playButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {             public void onClick(View v) {                  playThread.start();             }         });     }      void initialize() {          bufSize = android.media.AudioTrack.getMinBufferSize(44100,                 AudioFormat.CHANNEL_CONFIGURATION_STEREO,                 AudioFormat.ENCODING_PCM_16BIT);          myAT = new AudioTrack(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC,                 44100, AudioFormat.CHANNEL_CONFIGURATION_STEREO,                 AudioFormat.ENCODING_PCM_16BIT, bufSize,                 AudioTrack.MODE_STREAM);         myAT.setVolume(.2f);          playThread = new Thread(this);     }      public void run() {         if (myAT != null) {             myAT.play();             myAT.setLoopPoints(0, byteData.length, 6);             myAT.write(byteData, 0, byteData.length);         }     } } 

So this does seem to play the entire audio track (~1:00 min) and then stops. Now the end goal here is two have 2 seperate audio tracks playing and looping at the same time. I currently have the audio tracks in the /res/raw/ directory, but I can move them to a simple assets folder if that would be better. Is my current implementation of AudioTrack correct? If so, how would I get it to loop?
