	* The <code>AudioPermission</code> class represents access rights to the audio
	* system resources. An <code>AudioPermission</code> contains a target name
	* but no actions list; you either have the named permission or you don't.
	* <p>
	* The target name is the name of the audio permission (see the table below).
	* The names follow the hierarchical property-naming convention. Also, an asterisk
	* can be used to represent all the audio permissions.
	* <p>
	* The following table lists the possible <code>AudioPermission</code> target names.
	* For each name, the table provides a description of exactly what that permission
	* allows, as well as a discussion of the risks of granting code the permission.
