/**
 * This class is the abstraction representing a client endpoint for communication with LinuxSampler
 * instance. Since it implements all commands specified in the LSCP protocol v1.5, for more
 * information look at the
 * <a href=http://www.linuxsampler.org/api/lscp-1.5.html>LSCP</a> specification.
 *
 * <p> The following code establishes connection to LinuxSampler instance and gets the
 * LinuxSampler version:
 * <pre>
 *      try {
 *              Client client = new Client();
 *              client.connect();
 *              
 *              String version = client.getServerInfo().getVersion();
 *              System.out.println(version);
 *              
 *              client.disconnect();
 *      } catch(Exception x) { x.printStackTrace(); }
 * </pre>
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>For more examples look at the <code>examples</code> directory
 * located in the <b>jlscp</b> distribution.</p>
 * 
 * All methods are thread safe.
