The Sound API is a low-level API for creating, modifying, and controlling the input and output of sound media, including both audio and MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) data.

The public JavaSound API consists of two main packages:

The main part of the JavaSound implementation is organized as SPI (Service Provider Interfaces). The SPI interfaces can be found in the following two locations:
