This sketch demonstrates how to use the getType method of a FloatControl object. A FloatControl is what is returned by the gain, volume, pan, and balance methods of a Controller object. The class used here is an AudioOutput but these control methods are also available on AudioSample, AudioSnippet, AudioInput, and AudioPlayer objects. The FloatControl class is defined by the JavaSound API and it represents a control of a DataLine. A DataLine is a low-level JavaSound class that is used for sending audio to, or receiving audio from, the audio system. getType will return a Control.Type object that is equal to one of the static Control.Type objects of Controller. These are Controller.BALANCE, Controller.GAIN, Controller.MUTE, Controller.PAN, Controller.SAMPLE_RATE, and Controller.VOLUME. This method is inherited from the Control class and is more useful when you are trying to figure out what controls you have in the array returned by getControls (see the example Controller >> getControls).
