/**
 * A <code>BooleanControl provides the ability to switch between
 * two possible settings that affect a line's audio.  The settings are boolean
 * values (<code>true and false).  A graphical user interface
 * might represent the control by a two-state button, an on/off switch, two
 * mutually exclusive buttons, or a checkbox (among other possibilities).
 * For example, depressing a button might activate a
 * <code>{@link BooleanControl.Type#MUTE MUTE} control to silence
 * the line's audio.
 * <p>
 * As with other <code>{@link Control} subclasses, a method is
 * provided that returns string labels for the values, suitable for
 * display in the user interface.
