  34  * {@code AudioFormat} is the class that specifies a particular arrangement of
  35  * data in a sound stream. By examining the information stored in the audio
  36  * format, you can discover how to interpret the bits in the binary sound data.
  37  * <p>
  38  * Every data line has an audio format associated with its data stream. The
  39  * audio format of a source (playback) data line indicates what kind of data the
  40  * data line expects to receive for output. For a target (capture) data line,
  41  * the audio format specifies the kind of the data that can be read from the
  42  * line.
  43  * <p>
  44  * Sound files also have audio formats, of course. The {@link AudioFileFormat}
  45  * class encapsulates an {@code AudioFormat} in addition to other, file-specific
  46  * information. Similarly, an {@link AudioInputStream} has an
  47  * {@code AudioFormat}.
  48  * <p>
  49  * The {@code AudioFormat} class accommodates a number of common sound-file
  50  * encoding techniques, including pulse-code modulation (PCM), mu-law encoding,
  51  * and a-law encoding. These encoding techniques are predefined, but service
  52  * providers can create new encoding types. The encoding that a specific format
  53  * uses is named by its {@code encoding} field.
  54  * <p>
  55  * In addition to the encoding, the audio format includes other properties that
  56  * further specify the exact arrangement of the data. These include the number
  57  * of channels, sample rate, sample size, byte order, frame rate, and frame
  58  * size. Sounds may have different numbers of audio channels: one for mono, two
  59  * for stereo. The sample rate measures how many "snapshots" (samples) of the
  60  * sound pressure are taken per second, per channel. (If the sound is stereo
  61  * rather than mono, two samples are actually measured at each instant of time:
  62  * one for the left channel, and another for the right channel; however, the
  63  * sample rate still measures the number per channel, so the rate is the same
  64  * regardless of the number of channels. This is the standard use of the term.)
  65  * The sample size indicates how many bits are used to store each snapshot; 8
  66  * and 16 are typical values. For 16-bit samples (or any other sample size
  67  * larger than a byte), byte order is important; the bytes in each sample are
  68  * arranged in either the "little-endian" or "big-endian" style. For encodings
  69  * like PCM, a frame consists of the set of samples for all channels at a given
  70  * point in time, and so the size of a frame (in bytes) is always equal to the
  71  * size of a sample (in bytes) times the number of channels. However, with some
  72  * other sorts of encodings a frame can contain a bundle of compressed data for
  73  * a whole series of samples, as well as additional, non-sample data. For such
  74  * encodings, the sample rate and sample size refer to the data after it is
  75  * decoded into PCM, and so they are completely different from the frame rate
  76  * and frame size.
  77  * <p>
  78  * An {@code AudioFormat} object can include a set of properties. A property is
  79  * a pair of key and value: the key is of type {@code String}, the associated
  80  * property value is an arbitrary object. Properties specify additional format
  81  * specifications, like the bit rate for compressed formats. Properties are
  82  * mainly used as a means to transport additional information of the audio
  83  * format to and from the service providers. Therefore, properties are ignored
  84  * in the {@link #matches(AudioFormat)} method. However, methods which rely on
  85  * the installed service providers, like
  86  * {@link AudioSystem#isConversionSupported (AudioFormat, AudioFormat)
  87  * isConversionSupported} may consider properties, depending on the respective
  88  * service provider implementation.
  89  * <p>
  90  * The following table lists some common properties which service providers
  91  * should use, if applicable:
  92  *
  93  * <table class="striped">

 117  * Vendors of service providers (plugins) are encouraged to seek information
 118  * about other already established properties in third party plugins, and follow
 119  * the same conventions.

 531      * The {@code Encoding} class names the specific type of data representation
 532      * used for an audio stream. The encoding includes aspects of the sound
 533      * format other than the number of channels, sample rate, sample size, frame
 534      * rate, frame size, and byte order.
 535      * <p>
 536      * One ubiquitous type of audio encoding is pulse-code modulation (PCM),
 537      * which is simply a linear (proportional) representation of the sound
 538      * waveform. With PCM, the number stored in each sample is proportional to
 539      * the instantaneous amplitude of the sound pressure at that point in time.
 540      * The numbers may be signed or unsigned integers or floats. Besides PCM,
 541      * other encodings include mu-law and a-law, which are nonlinear mappings of
 542      * the sound amplitude that are often used for recording speech.
 543      * <p>
 544      * You can use a predefined encoding by referring to one of the static
 545      * objects created by this class, such as {@code PCM_SIGNED} or
 546      * {@code PCM_UNSIGNED}. Service providers can create new encodings, such as
 547      * compressed audio formats, and make these available through the
 548      * {@link AudioSystem} class.
 549      * <p>
 550      * The {@code Encoding} class is static, so that all {@code AudioFormat}
 551      * objects that have the same encoding will refer to the same object (rather
 552      * than different instances of the same class). This allows matches to be
 553      * made by checking that two format's encodings are equal.
