There is some new documentation for writing Audio Device Drivers available

thanks for your reply. I am looking for documentation for users of the CoreAudio framework, not for device driver implementors.

There is actually a lot of really good info in this document on the low-level architecture of CoreAudio that is very applicable to users of the framework, not just device driver writers. I recommend anyone interested in CoreAudio have a look. It helped me _enormously_.

With all this talk of documentation, I'm curious if people can articulate exactly what's missing that they _need_. Saying "I need useful doc" is a bit vague and doesn't help Apple figure out how to prioritize.

Right now there is:

a) coreaudio.pdf which covers the basics of the API
b) the doc for driver writers which explains the low-level architecture
c) the header files, which have extensive reference doc (blessings upon the CoreAudio engineers)
d) the Daisy app which has examples of using pretty much all of CoreAudio's features (but which has almost no comments in the code, hint hint)
e) this mailing list which seems pretty active
f) some examples and doc out on the net:

http://www.portaudio.com/ (look for pa_mac_core)

pdf

What else would help?
