public interface AudioStream
extends AudioResource

An AudioStream is a stream of samples that is coming from somewhere. Users of an AudioStream don't really need to know where the samples are coming from. However, typically they will be read from a Line or a file. An AudioStream needs to be opened before being used and closed when you are finished with it.
