format problems with ExtAudioFile

hi,

I am using the extaudiofile api for reading and writing files to disk. I've experienced some problems when doing so that I have been able to solve yet... so any help would really be appreciated:
as far as writing is concerned... I am calling ExtAudioFileWriteAsync on a post render notification and write the iodata buffer to disk (compressed) . this works fine as long as I specify 'caff' as the filetype. when I specify any other format such as aiff or aac I get a format error.
this is the ABSD I filled out:


outputFormat.mSampleRate = 44100.;
outputFormat.mFormatID= kAudioFormatAppleIMA4;
outputFormat.mFormatFlags = 0;
outputFormat.mChannelsPerFrame = 2;
outputFormat.mBitsPerChannel = 0;
outputFormat.mFramesPerPacket= 64;
outputFormat.mBytesPerPacket = 68;
outputFormat.mBytesPerFrame = 0;

if I specify aiff or aac respectively, as the filetype (in extaudiofilecreatenew), what fields of outputformat would I have to change ?

as far as reading is concerned I have encountered another problem... again if I read from a 'caff' file things work fine. yet, as soon as I try to read from an mp3 file (or any other file type) I get a format error (exception thrown by AUConverterNew). I've tried specifying a different client data format (lpcm), but this wouldn't help:

clientFormat.mSampleRate = 44100.;
clientFormat.mFormatID= 'lpcm';
clientFormat.mFormatFlags = kAudioFormatFlagIsBigEndian | kAudioFormatFlagIsSignedInteger;
clientFormat.mChannelsPerFrame = 2;
clientFormat.mBitsPerChannel = 16;
clientFormat.mFramesPerPacket= 1;
clientFormat.mBytesPerPacket = 4;
clientFormat.mBytesPerFrame = 4;


again, can anyone provide me with hints about what values for what field exactly have to be specified or what could be the solution to reading mp3 files from disk with extaudiofile ?
hope someone can help.


thanks,
Thomas
