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