/**
 * The {@code Clip} interface represents a special kind of data line whose audio
 * data can be loaded prior to playback, instead of being streamed in real time.
 * <p>
 * Because the data is pre-loaded and has a known length, you can set a clip to
 * start playing at any position in its audio data. You can also create a loop,
 * so that when the clip is played it will cycle repeatedly. Loops are specified
 * with a starting and ending sample frame, along with the number of times that
 * the loop should be played.
 * <p>
 * Clips may be obtained from a {@link Mixer} that supports lines of this type.
 * Data is loaded into a clip when it is opened.
 * <p>
 * Playback of an audio clip may be started and stopped using the
 * {@link #start start} and {@link #stop stop} methods. These methods do not
 * reset the media position; {@code start} causes playback to continue from the
 * position where playback was last stopped. To restart playback from the
 * beginning of the clip's audio data, simply follow the invocation of
 * {@code stop} with {@code setFramePosition(0)}, which rewinds the media to the
 * beginning of the clip.
