Very simple question I suspect but I can't find the answer anywhere.
Following is my IOProc for recording from my microphone. It works well. The
only thing I am wondering is what is the actual data in the array of floats?
What is its scale?. How do I retrieve the Amplitude and frequency from the
data?


What are you trying to achieve?

The data will be ... the microphone input data converted from native device format (16 bits, 8bits...) to floats . You can ask for the properties of the device through CoreAudio calls (AudioDeviceGetPropertyInfo, AudioDeviceGetProperty), or for the stream info, but this will give you the settings of the hardware device not about the data themselves.

If you want to do further analysis of the data you will have to deal yourself with FFTs and other DSP niceties (in this case you may want to have a look at the vecLib framework)
