Why is my PipedOutputStream dead end?

Question

I am trying to implement a stream circular buffer with PipedInputStream and PipedOutputStream, but it is blocked every time I get mHead.write in an executable decoder. I thought that when using separate threads there is no chance for deadlocks.

    private class DecoderTask implements Runnable{

    @Override
    public void run() {
        while(!mStop){
            try {
                    Log.d(TAG,"trying to write");
        mHead.write(decode( 0, 1000));
            mHead.flush();
            Log.d(TAG,"Decoded");
            } catch (DecoderException e) {
                Log.e(TAG,e.toString());
            } catch (IOException e) {
                Log.e(TAG,e.toString());
            }
        }
    }

}
private class WriteTask implements Runnable{

    @Override
    public void run() {
        while(!mStop){
            try {
                                 Log.d(TAG,"trying to read");
                 int read = mTail.read(mByteSlave, 0, mByteSlave.length);
                 mAudioTrack.flush();
                                 mAudioTrack.write(mByteSlave,0,read);
                                 Log.d(TAG,"read");                 
            } catch (IOException e) {
                Log.e(TAG,e.toString());
            }
        }
    }

}


//in some function
mTail = new PipedInputStream();
mHead = new PipedOutputStream(mTail);
mByteSlave = new byte[BUF];
mT1 = new Thread(new DecoderTask(), "Reader");
mT2 = new Thread(new WriteTask(), "Writer");
mT1.start();
mT2.start();
return;

: PipedInputStream.read int. :

int len = mTail.read(mByteSlave, 0, mByteSlave.length);
mAudioTrack.write(mByteSlave, 0, len);
