/**
 * {@code AudioFormat} is the class that specifies a particular arrangement of
 * data in a sound stream. By examining the information stored in the audio
 * format, you can discover how to interpret the bits in the binary sound data.
 * <p>
 * Every data line has an audio format associated with its data stream. The
 * audio format of a source (playback) data line indicates what kind of data the
 * data line expects to receive for output. For a target (capture) data line,
 * the audio format specifies the kind of the data that can be read from the
 * line.
 * <p>
 * Sound files also have audio formats, of course. The {@link AudioFileFormat}
 * class encapsulates an {@code AudioFormat} in addition to other, file-specific
 * information. Similarly, an {@link AudioInputStream} has an
 * {@code AudioFormat}.
 * <p>
 * The {@code AudioFormat} class accommodates a number of common sound-file
 * encoding techniques, including pulse-code modulation (PCM), mu-law encoding,
 * and a-law encoding. These encoding techniques are predefined, but service
 * providers can create new encoding types. The encoding that a specific format
 * uses is named by its {@code encoding} field.
 * <p>
 * In addition to the encoding, the audio format includes other properties that
 * further specify the exact arrangement of the data. These include the number
 * of channels, sample rate, sample size, byte order, frame rate, and frame
 * size. Sounds may have different numbers of audio channels: one for mono, two
 * for stereo. The sample rate measures how many "snapshots" (samples) of the
 * sound pressure are taken per second, per channel. (If the sound is stereo
 * rather than mono, two samples are actually measured at each instant of time:
 * one for the left channel, and another for the right channel; however, the
 * sample rate still measures the number per channel, so the rate is the same
 * regardless of the number of channels. This is the standard use of the term.)
 * The sample size indicates how many bits are used to store each snapshot; 8
 * and 16 are typical values. For 16-bit samples (or any other sample size
 * larger than a byte), byte order is important; the bytes in each sample are
 * arranged in either the "little-endian" or "big-endian" style. For encodings
 * like PCM, a frame consists of the set of samples for all channels at a given
 * point in time, and so the size of a frame (in bytes) is always equal to the
 * size of a sample (in bytes) times the number of channels. However, with some
 * other sorts of encodings a frame can contain a bundle of compressed data for
 * a whole series of samples, as well as additional, non-sample data. For such
 * encodings, the sample rate and sample size refer to the data after it is
 * decoded into PCM, and so they are completely different from the frame rate
 * and frame size.
 * <p>
 * An {@code AudioFormat} object can include a set of properties. A property is
 * a pair of key and value: the key is of type {@code String}, the associated
 * property value is an arbitrary object. Properties specify additional format
 * specifications, like the bit rate for compressed formats. Properties are
 * mainly used as a means to transport additional information of the audio
 * format to and from the service providers. Therefore, properties are ignored
 * in the {@link #matches(AudioFormat)} method. However, methods which rely on
 * the installed service providers, like
 * {@link AudioSystem#isConversionSupported (AudioFormat, AudioFormat)
 * isConversionSupported} may consider properties, depending on the respective
 * service provider implementation.
 * <p>
 * The following table lists some common properties which service providers
 * should use, if applicable:
 *
 * <table class="striped">
 * <caption>Audio Format Properties</caption>
 * <thead>
 *   <tr>
 *     <th>Property key
 *     <th>Value type
 *     <th>Description
 * </thead>
 * <tbody>
 *   <tr>
 *     <td>&quot;bitrate&quot;
 *     <td>{@link java.lang.Integer Integer}
 *     <td>average bit rate in bits per second
 *   <tr>
 *     <td>&quot;vbr&quot;
 *     <td>{@link java.lang.Boolean Boolean}
 *     <td>{@code true}, if the file is encoded in variable bit rate (VBR)
 *   <tr>
 *     <td>&quot;quality&quot;
 *     <td>{@link java.lang.Integer Integer}
 *     <td>encoding/conversion quality, 1..100
 * </tbody>
 * </table>
 * <p>
 * Vendors of service providers (plugins) are encouraged to seek information
 * about other already established properties in third party plugins, and follow
 * the same conventions.

     * The numbers may be signed or unsigned integers or floats. Besides PCM,
     * other encodings include mu-law and a-law, which are nonlinear mappings of
     * the sound amplitude that are often used for recording speech.
     * <p>
     * You can use a predefined encoding by referring to one of the static
     * objects created by this class, such as {@code PCM_SIGNED} or
     * {@code PCM_UNSIGNED}. Service providers can create new encodings, such as
     * compressed audio formats, and make these available through the
     * {@link AudioSystem} class.
     * <p>
     * The {@code Encoding} class is static, so that all {@code AudioFormat}
     * objects that have the same encoding will refer to the same object (rather
     * than different instances of the same class). This allows matches to be
     * made by checking that two format's encodings are equal.
