Please note: In the javax.sound.sampled APIs, a null reference parameter to methods is incorrect unless explicitly documented on the method as having a meaningful interpretation. Usage to the contrary is incorrect coding and may result in a run time exception either immediately or at some later time. NullPointerException is an example of typical and acceptable run time exception for such cases.

Interface Summary

Modifier and Type	Interface and Description
public interface	Clip The `Clip` interface represents a special kind of data line whose audio data can be loaded prior to playback, instead of being streamed in real time.
public interface	DataLine `DataLine` adds media-related functionality to its superinterface, `Line`.
public interface	Line The `Line` interface represents a mono or multi-channel audio feed.
public interface	LineListener Instances of classes that implement the `LineListener` interface can register to receive events when a line's status changes.
public interface	Mixer A mixer is an audio device with one or more lines.
public interface	Port Ports are simple lines for input or output of audio to or from audio devices.
public interface	SourceDataLine A source data line is a data line to which data may be written.
public interface	TargetDataLine A target data line is a type of `DataLine` from which audio data can be read.

Class Summary

Modifier and Type	Class and Description
public class	AudioFileFormat An instance of the `AudioFileFormat` class describes an audio file, including the file type, the file's length in bytes, the length in sample frames of the audio data contained in the file, and the format of the audio data.
public class	AudioFormat `AudioFormat` is the class that specifies a particular arrangement of data in a sound stream.
public class	AudioInputStream An audio input stream is an input stream with a specified audio format and length.
public class	AudioPermission The `AudioPermission` class represents access rights to the audio system resources.
public class	AudioSystem The `AudioSystem` class acts as the entry point to the sampled-audio system resources.
public abstract class	BooleanControl A `BooleanControl` provides the ability to switch between two possible settings that affect a line's audio.
public abstract class	CompoundControl A `CompoundControl`, such as a graphic equalizer, provides control over two or more related properties, each of which is itself represented as a `Control`.
public abstract class	Control `Lines` often have a set of controls, such as gain and pan, that affect the audio signal passing through the line.
public abstract class	EnumControl An `EnumControl` provides control over a set of discrete possible values, each represented by an object.
public abstract class	FloatControl A `FloatControl` object provides control over a range of floating-point values.
public class	LineEvent The `LineEvent` class encapsulates information that a line sends its listeners whenever the line opens, closes, starts, or stops.
public class	LineUnavailableException A `LineUnavailableException` is an exception indicating that a line cannot be opened because it is unavailable.
public class	ReverbType The `ReverbType` class provides methods for accessing various reverberation settings to be applied to an audio signal.
public class	UnsupportedAudioFileException An `UnsupportedAudioFileException` is an exception indicating that an operation failed because a file did not contain valid data of a recognized file type and format.
