/**
 * The <code>Line</code> interface represents a mono or multi-channel
 * audio feed. A line is an element of the digital audio
 * "pipeline," such as a mixer, an input or output port,
 * or a data path into or out of a mixer.
 * <p>
 * A line can have controls, such as gain, pan, and reverb.
 * The controls themselves are instances of classes that extend the
 * base <code>{@link Control}</code> class.
 * The <code>Line</code> interface provides two accessor methods for
 * obtaining the line's controls: <code>{@link #getControls getControls}</code> returns the
 * entire set, and <code>{@link #getControl getControl}</code> returns a single control of
 * specified type.
 * <p>
 * Lines exist in various states at different times.  When a line opens, it reserves system
 * resources for itself, and when it closes, these resources are freed for
 * other objects or applications. The <code>{@link #isOpen()}</code> method lets
 * you discover whether a line is open or closed.
 * An open line need not be processing data, however.  Such processing is
 * typically initiated by subinterface methods such as
 * <code>{@link SourceDataLine#write SourceDataLine.write}</code> and
 * <code>{@link TargetDataLine#read TargetDataLine.read}</code>.
 *<p>
 * You can register an object to receive notifications whenever the line's
 * state changes.  The object must implement the <code>{@link LineListener}</code>
 * interface, which consists of the single method
 * <code>{@link LineListener#update update}</code>.
 * This method will be invoked when a line opens and closes (and, if it's a
 * {@link DataLine}, when it starts and stops).
 *<p>
 * An object can be registered to listen to multiple lines.  The event it
 * receives in its <code>update</code> method will specify which line created
 * the event, what type of event it was
 * (<code>OPEN</code>, <code>CLOSE</code>, <code>START</code>, or <code>STOP</code>),
 * and how many sample frames the line had processed at the time the event occurred.
 * <p>
 * Certain line operations, such as open and close, can generate security
 * exceptions if invoked by unprivileged code when the line is a shared audio
 * resource.

     * to reopen such a line will always result in an <code>LineUnavailableException</code>.
     * <p>
     * Some types of lines have configurable properties that may affect
     * resource allocation.   For example, a <code>DataLine</code> must
     * be opened with a particular format and buffer size.  Such lines
     * should provide a mechanism for configuring these properties, such
     * as an additional <code>open</code> method or methods which allow

     * settings.  For <code>{@link SourceDataLine}</code> and
     * <code>{@link TargetDataLine}</code> objects, this means that the line is
     * opened with default settings.  For a <code>{@link Clip}</code>, however,
     * the buffer size is determined when data is loaded.  Since this method does not
     * allow the application to specify any data to load, an IllegalArgumentException
     * is thrown. Therefore, you should instead use one of the <code>open</code> methods
