## com.sun.j3d.audioengines
Class AudioEngineThread

    java.lang.Object
      java.lang.Thread
          com.sun.j3d.audioengines.AudioEngineThread

All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.lang.Runnable

    public class AudioEngineThread

extends java.lang.Thread

The Thread Class extended for Audio Device engines that must process calls dynamically, in 'real-time" to asynchronously change engine parameters.

NOTE: this class is probably not needed for those Audio Device implementations that handle all dynamic parameters in the low-level audio library.
