/**
 * The {@code AudioPermission} class represents access rights to the audio
 * system resources. An {@code AudioPermission} contains a target name but no
 * actions list; you either have the named permission or you don't.
 * <p>
 * The target name is the name of the audio permission (see the table below).
 * The names follow the hierarchical property-naming convention. Also, an
 * asterisk can be used to represent all the audio permissions.
 * <p>
 * The following table lists the possible {@code AudioPermission} target names.
 * For each name, the table provides a description of exactly what that
 * permission allows, as well as a discussion of the risks of granting code the
 * permission.
 *
 * <table class="striped">
 * <caption>Permission target name, what the permission allows, and associated
 * risks</caption>
 * <thead>
 * <tr>
 * <th>Permission Target Name</th>
 * <th>What the Permission Allows</th>
 * <th>Risks of Allowing this Permission</th>
 * </tr>

 * <tbody>
 * <tr>
 * <td>play</td>
 * <td>Audio playback through the audio device or devices on the system.
 * Allows the application to obtain and manipulate lines and mixers for
 * audio playback (rendering).</td>
 * <td>In some cases use of this permission may affect other
 * applications because the audio from one line may be mixed with other audio
 * being played on the system, or because manipulation of a mixer affects the
 * audio for all lines using that mixer.</td>
 * </tr>
 *
 * <tr>
 * <td>record</td>
 * <td>Audio recording through the audio device or devices on the system.
 * Allows the application to obtain and manipulate lines and mixers for
 * audio recording (capture).</td>
 * <td>In some cases use of this permission may affect other
 * applications because manipulation of a mixer affects the audio for all lines
 * using that mixer.
 * This permission can enable an applet or application to eavesdrop on a user.</td>
