  31  * <code>DataLine</code> adds media-related functionality to its
  32  * superinterface, <code>{@link Line}</code>.  This functionality includes
  33  * transport-control methods that start, stop, drain, and flush
  34  * the audio data that passes through the line.  A data line can also
  35  * report the current position, volume, and audio format of the media.
  36  * Data lines are used for output of audio by means of the
  37  * subinterfaces <code>{@link SourceDataLine}</code> or
  38  * <code>{@link Clip}</code>, which allow an application program to write data.  Similarly,
  39  * audio input is handled by the subinterface <code>{@link TargetDataLine}</code>,
  40  * which allows data to be read.
  41  * <p>
  42  * A data line has an internal buffer in which
  43  * the incoming or outgoing audio data is queued.  The
  44  * <code>{@link #drain()}</code> method blocks until this internal buffer
  45  * becomes empty, usually because all queued data has been processed.  The
  46  * <code>{@link #flush()}</code> method discards any available queued data
  47  * from the internal buffer.
  48  * <p>
  49  * A data line produces <code>{@link LineEvent.Type#START START}</code> and
  50  * <code>{@link LineEvent.Type#STOP STOP}</code> events whenever
  51  * it begins or ceases active presentation or capture of data.  These events
  52  * can be generated in response to specific requests, or as a result of
  53  * less direct state changes.  For example, if <code>{@link #start()}</code> is called
  54  * on an inactive data line, and data is available for capture or playback, a
  55  * <code>START</code> event will be generated shortly, when data playback
  56  * or capture actually begins.  Or, if the flow of data to an active data
  57  * line is constricted so that a gap occurs in the presentation of data,
  58  * a <code>STOP</code> event is generated.
  59  * <p>
  60  * Mixers often support synchronized control of multiple data lines.
  61  * Synchronization can be established through the Mixer interface's
  62  * <code>{@link Mixer#synchronize synchronize}</code> method.
  63  * See the description of the <code>{@link Mixer Mixer}</code> interface
  64  * for a more complete description.

  31  * {@code DataLine} adds media-related functionality to its superinterface,
  32  * {@code Line}. This functionality includes transport-control methods that
  33  * start, stop, drain, and flush the audio data that passes through the line. A
  34  * data line can also report the current position, volume, and audio format of
  35  * the media. Data lines are used for output of audio by means of the
  36  * subinterfaces {@link SourceDataLine} or {@link Clip}, which allow an
  37  * application program to write data. Similarly, audio input is handled by the
  38  * subinterface {@link TargetDataLine}, which allows data to be read.


  39  * <p>
  40  * A data line has an internal buffer in which the incoming or outgoing audio
  41  * data is queued. The {@link #drain()} method blocks until this internal buffer

  42  * becomes empty, usually because all queued data has been processed. The
  43  * {@link #flush()} method discards any available queued data from the internal
  44  * buffer.
  45  * <p>
  46  * A data line produces {@link LineEvent.Type#START START} and
  47  * {@link LineEvent.Type#STOP STOP} events whenever it begins or ceases active
  48  * presentation or capture of data. These events can be generated in response to
  49  * specific requests, or as a result of less direct state changes. For example,
  50  * if {@link #start()} is called on an inactive data line, and data is available
  51  * for capture or playback, a {@code START} event will be generated shortly,
  52  * when data playback or capture actually begins. Or, if the flow of data to an
  53  * active data line is constricted so that a gap occurs in the presentation of
  54  * data, a {@code STOP} event is generated.

  55  * <p>
  56  * Mixers often support synchronized control of multiple data lines.
  57  * Synchronization can be established through the Mixer interface's
  58  * {@link Mixer#synchronize synchronize} method. See the description of the
  59  * {@link Mixer Mixer} interface for a more complete description.
