/**	Represents a one-time writing of audio data to a destination (file or output stream).
 *
 *	This interface is the lowest abstraction level of writing audio data.
 *	Implementations of this interface should, when write() is called, never
 *	do buffering and they should never do format conversions. However,
 *	this interface is intended to abstract the file format (how the
 *	headers and data chunks look like) and the way of writing to the
 *	destination object. (implementation note [non-normative]: the last
 *	should be done by using TDataOutputStream implementing classes).
 *
 *	One reasoning behind this interface was to allow direct, unbuffered
 *	writing	of recorded data.
 *	In JS API 0.90, there was no obvious way for this.
 *	Data have had to be recorded to a buffer, then written to a file
 *	from that buffer.
 *	This gave problems with long recordings, where the main
 *	memory of the machine is not big enough to hold all data. There are
 *	two ways so solve this:
 *
 *	a) Having a special AudioInputStream that fetches its data from a
 *	TargetDataLine. This way, the loop inside the AudioFileWriters reads
 *	directely from the recording line via the special AudioInputStream.
 *	This is the solution Sun adopted for JS 1.0.
 *
 *	b) The other way is to expose a direct interface to the writing of the
 *	audio file with no loop inside it. This is to enable the application
 *	programmer to write the main loop itself, possibly doing some
 *	additional processing inside it. This is the more flexible way.
 *	The drawback is that it requires a new architecture for writing files.
 *
 *	This interface is the central part of a proposal for the second
 *	solution.
 *	The idea is now to use the new structure inside the old one to gain
 *	experience with it before proposing to make it a public interface
 *	(public in the sense that it is part of the javax.sound.sampled
 *	package).
