/**
 * A format conversion provider provides format conversion services
 * from one or more input formats to one or more output formats.
 * Converters include codecs, which encode and/or decode audio data,
 * as well as transcoders, etc.  Format converters provide methods for
 * determining what conversions are supported and for obtaining an audio
 * stream from which converted data can be read.
 * <p>
 * The source format represents the format of the incoming
 * audio data, which will be converted.
 * <p>
 * The target format represents the format of the processed, converted
 * audio data.  This is the format of the data that can be read from
 * the stream returned by one of the <code>getAudioInputStream</code> methods.
