28/**
29 * A mixer is an audio device with one or more lines. It need not be designed
30 * for mixing audio signals. A mixer that actually mixes audio has multiple
31 * input (source) lines and at least one output (target) line. The former are
32 * often instances of classes that implement {@link SourceDataLine}, and the
33 * latter, {@link TargetDataLine}. {@link Port} objects, too, are either source
34 * lines or target lines. A mixer can accept prerecorded, loopable sound as
35 * input, by having some of its source lines be instances of objects that
36 * implement the {@link Clip} interface.
37 * <p>
38 * Through methods of the {@code Line} interface, which {@code Mixer} extends, a
39 * mixer might provide a set of controls that are global to the mixer. For
40 * example, the mixer can have a master gain control. These global controls are
41 * distinct from the controls belonging to each of the mixer's individual lines.
42 * <p>
43 * Some mixers, especially those with internal digital mixing capabilities, may
44 * provide additional capabilities by implementing the {@code DataLine}
45 * interface.
46 * <p>
47 * A mixer can support synchronization of its lines. When one line in a
48 * synchronized group is started or stopped, the other lines in the group
49 * automatically start or stop simultaneously with the explicitly affected one.
