/**
 * A source data line is a data line to which data may be written. It acts as a
 * source to its mixer. An application writes audio bytes to a source data line,
 * which handles the buffering of the bytes and delivers them to the mixer. The
 * mixer may mix the samples with those from other sources and then deliver the
 * mix to a target such as an output port (which may represent an audio output
 * device on a sound card).
 * <p>
 * Note that the naming convention for this interface reflects the relationship
 * between the line and its mixer. From the perspective of an application, a
 * source data line may act as a target for audio data.
 * <p>
 * A source data line can be obtained from a mixer by invoking the
 * {@link Mixer#getLine getLine} method of {@code Mixer} with an appropriate
 * {@link DataLine.Info} object.
 * <p>
 * The {@code SourceDataLine} interface provides a method for writing audio data
 * to the data line's buffer. Applications that play or mix audio should write
 * data to the source data line quickly enough to keep the buffer from
 * underflowing (emptying), which could cause discontinuities in the audio that
 * are perceived as clicks. Applications can use the
 * {@link DataLine#available available} method defined in the {@code DataLine}
 * interface to determine the amount of data currently queued in the data line's
 * buffer. The amount of data which can be written to the buffer without
 * blocking is the difference between the buffer size and the amount of queued
 * data. If the delivery of audio output stops due to underflow, a
 * {@link LineEvent.Type#STOP STOP} event is generated. A
 * {@link LineEvent.Type#START START} event is generated when the audio output
 * resumes.
