Using Java is it possible to capture the speaker output? This output is not being generated by my program but rather by other running applications. Can this be done with Java or will I need to resort to C/C++?

Take an AUX cable, connect to HEADPHONE JACK and other end to MICROPHONE JACK and run this code
