/**
* A target data line is a type of {@link DataLine} from which audio data can be
* read. The most common example is a data line that gets its data from an audio
* capture device. (The device is implemented as a mixer that writes to the
* target data line.)
* <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
* target data line may act as a source for audio data.
* <p>
* The target 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 TargetDataLine} interface provides a method for reading the
* captured data from the target data line's buffer. Applications that record
* audio should read data from the target data line quickly enough to keep the
* buffer from overflowing, which could cause discontinuities in the captured
* data 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. If the buffer does overflow, the oldest queued data is discarded and
* replaced by new data.
