LineIn not working on MacOS Big Sur #91
Description
REPRODUCE
Run example AudioPassThrough
EXPECT
Hear audio from input echod to output.
ACTUAL
No audio input.
ADDITIONAL
One problem is if the Macbook does not have any USB interface attached.
The start() will fail. The built-in speaker is mono but the app requests stereo.
Connecting a stereo audio interface helps.
But then we get the silence. This seems related to new Apple privacy rules related to microphones.

I installed JDK 16 but Mac says it is corrupt. It seems to me that Oracle is trying to destroy Java and has successfully killed it on the Mac.
So I may need to switch to Linux or switch to another language! The Mac is becoming increasingly unfriendly to developers. And I don't know of a good cross platform language environment.
