The AudioRecord class manages the audio resources for Java applications
to record audio from the audio input hardware of the platform. This is
achieved by "pulling" (reading) the data from the AudioRecord object. The
application is responsible for polling the AudioRecord object in time using one of
the following three methods: read(byte[], int, int), read(short[], int, int)
or read(ByteBuffer, int). The choice of which method to use will be based
on the audio data storage format that is the most convenient for the user of AudioRecord.
Upon creation, an AudioRecord object initializes its associated audio buffer that it will fill with the new audio data. The size of this buffer, specified during the construction, determines how long an AudioRecord can record before "over-running" data that has not been read yet. Data should be read from the audio hardware in chunks of sizes inferior to the total recording buffer size.

recording source definitions. |

| sampleRateInHz | the sample rate expressed in Hertz. 44100Hz is currently the only rate that is guaranteed to work on all devices, but other rates such as 22050, 16000, and 11025 may work on some devices. |

See ENCODING_PCM_16BIT and
ENCODING_PCM_8BIT |
| bufferSizeInBytes | the total size (in bytes) of the buffer where audio data is written
to during the recording. New audio data can be read from this buffer in smaller chunks
than this size. See getMinBufferSize(int, int, int) to determine the minimum
required buffer size for the successful creation of an AudioRecord instance. Using values
smaller than getMinBufferSize() will result in an initialization failure. |

Returns the minimum buffer size required for the successful creation of an AudioRecord object. Note that this size doesn't guarantee a smooth recording under load, and higher values should be chosen according to the expected frequency at which the AudioRecord instance will be polled for new data.

Invoked when the garbage collector has detected that this instance is no longer reachable. The default implementation does nothing, but this method can be overridden to free resources.
Note that objects that override finalize are significantly more expensive than
objects that don't. Finalizers may be run a long time after the object is no longer
reachable, depending on memory pressure, so it's a bad idea to rely on them for cleanup.
Note also that finalizers are run on a single VM-wide finalizer thread,
so doing blocking work in a finalizer is a bad idea. A finalizer is usually only necessary
for a class that has a native peer and needs to call a native method to destroy that peer.
Even then, it's better to provide an explicit close method (and implement
Closeable), and insist that callers manually dispose of instances. This
works well for something like files, but less well for something like a BigInteger
where typical calling code would have to deal with lots of temporaries. Unfortunately,
code that creates lots of temporaries is the worst kind of code from the point of view of
the single finalizer thread.
If you must use finalizers, consider at least providing your own
ReferenceQueue and having your own thread process that queue.
Unlike constructors, finalizers are not automatically chained. You are responsible for
calling super.finalize() yourself.
Uncaught exceptions thrown by finalizers are ignored and do not terminate the finalizer thread. See Effective Java Item 7, "Avoid finalizers" for more.
