  56  * The {@code AudioSystem} class acts as the entry point to the sampled-audio
  57  * system resources. This class lets you query and access the mixers that are
  58  * installed on the system. {@code AudioSystem} includes a number of methods for
  59  * converting audio data between different formats, and for translating between
  60  * audio files and streams. It also provides a method for obtaining a
  61  * {@link Line} directly from the {@code AudioSystem} without dealing explicitly
  62  * with mixers.
  63  * <p>
  64  * Properties can be used to specify the default mixer for specific line types.
  65  * Both system properties and a properties file are considered. The
  66  * "sound.properties" properties file is read from an implementation-specific
  67  * location (typically it is the {@code conf} directory in the Java installation
  68  * directory). If a property exists both as a system property and in the
  69  * properties file, the system property takes precedence. If none is specified,
  70  * a suitable default is chosen among the available devices. The syntax of the
  71  * properties file is specified in
  72  * {@link Properties#load(InputStream) Properties.load}. The following table
  73  * lists the available property keys and which methods consider them:
  74  *
  75  * <table border=0>
  76  *  <caption>Audio System Property Keys</caption>
  77  *  <tr>
  78  *   <th>Property Key</th>
  79  *   <th>Interface</th>
  80  *   <th>Affected Method(s)</th>
  81  *  </tr>
  82  *  <tr>
  83  *   <td>{@code javax.sound.sampled.Clip}</td>
  84  *   <td>{@link Clip}</td>
  85  *   <td>{@link #getLine}, {@link #getClip}</td>
  86  *  </tr>
  87  *  <tr>
  88  *   <td>{@code javax.sound.sampled.Port}</td>
  89  *   <td>{@link Port}</td>
  90  *   <td>{@link #getLine}</td>
  91  *  </tr>
  92  *  <tr>
  93  *   <td>{@code javax.sound.sampled.SourceDataLine}</td>
  94  *   <td>{@link SourceDataLine}</td>
  95  *   <td>{@link #getLine}, {@link #getSourceDataLine}</td>
  96  *  </tr>
  97  *  <tr>
  98  *   <td>{@code javax.sound.sampled.TargetDataLine}</td>
  99  *   <td>{@link TargetDataLine}</td>
 100  *   <td>{@link #getLine}, {@link #getTargetDataLine}</td>
 101  *  </tr>
 102  * </table>
 103  *
 104  * The property value consists of the provider class name and the mixer name,
 105  * separated by the hash mark (&quot;#&quot;). The provider class name is the
 106  * fully-qualified name of a concrete {@link MixerProvider mixer provider}
 107  * class. The mixer name is matched against the {@code String} returned by the
 108  * {@code getName} method of {@code Mixer.Info}. Either the class name, or the
 109  * mixer name may be omitted. If only the class name is specified, the trailing
 110  * hash mark is optional.
 111  * <p>
 112  * If the provider class is specified, and it can be successfully retrieved from
 113  * the installed providers, the list of {@code Mixer.Info} objects is retrieved
 114  * from the provider. Otherwise, or when these mixers do not provide a
 115  * subsequent match, the list is retrieved from {@link #getMixerInfo} to contain
 116  * all available {@code Mixer.Info} objects.
 117  * <p>
 118  * If a mixer name is specified, the resulting list of {@code Mixer.Info}
 119  * objects is searched: the first one with a matching name, and whose
 120  * {@code Mixer} provides the respective line interface, will be returned. If no
 121  * matching {@code Mixer.Info} object is found, or the mixer name is not
 122  * specified, the first mixer from the resulting list, which provides the
 123  * respective line interface, will be returned.
 124  *
 125  * For example, the property {@code javax.sound.sampled.Clip} with a value
 126  * {@code "com.sun.media.sound.MixerProvider#SunClip"}
 127  * will have the following consequences when {@code getLine} is called
 128  * requesting a {@code Clip} instance: if the class
 129  * {@code com.sun.media.sound.MixerProvider} exists in the list of installed
 130  * mixer providers, the first {@code Clip} from the first mixer with name
 131  * {@code "SunClip"} will be returned. If it cannot be found, the
 132  * first {@code Clip} from the first mixer of the specified provider will be
 133  * returned, regardless of name. If there is none, the first {@code Clip} from
 134  * the first {@code Mixer} with name {@code "SunClip"} in the list of
 135  * all mixers (as returned by {@code getMixerInfo}) will be returned, or, if not
 136  * found, the first {@code Clip} of the first {@code Mixer} that can be found in
 137  * the list of all mixers is returned. If that fails, too, an
 138  * {@code IllegalArgumentException} is thrown.
