+     * AudioEffect is the base class for creating and controlling an effect engine from

+     * in the AudioFlinger if no engine of the specified type exists. If one exists, this engine
+     * will be used. The application creating the AudioEffect object (or a derived class like
+     * Reverb for instance) will either receive control of the effect engine or not, depending
+     * on the priority parameter. If priority is higher than the priority used by the current
+     * effect engine owner, the control will be transfered to the new application. Otherwise
+     * control will remain to the previous application. In this case, the new application will be
+     * notified of changes in effect engine state or control ownership by the effect callback.
+     * After creating the AudioEffect, the application must call the initCheck() method and
+     * check the creation status before trying to control the effect engine (see initCheck()).
+     * If the effect is to be applied to an AudioTrack or MediaPlayer only the application
+     * must specify the audio session ID corresponding to this player.
