/**
  * This sketch demonstrates how to use the <code>type</code> method of a <code>Recordable</code> class. 
  * The class used here is <code>AudioOutput</code>, but you can also get the type of <code>AudioInput</code>, 
  * <code>AudioPlayer</code>, and <code>AudioSample</code> objects. The <code>type</code> method returns 
  * the number of channels the <code>Recordable</code> has: either 1 or 2. For code clarity you can compare these 
  * to the static constants <code>Minim.MONO</code> and <code>Minim.STEREO</code>.
  *
