The Point that I think your missing is that AIFF-C is *NOT* equal to
Compressed. It is perfectly possible, legal, and *COMMON* for an
AIFF-C file to contain Uncompressed audio. I have a few dozen such
files on my HD RIGHT NOW. I know they are uncompressed because they
are straight CD rips and recordings.
Please, don't let me be misunderstood, there's nothing wrong with AIFC,
all praise to it -lots of professional audio work just does not need
it - but did it ever come across your mind that there are more creative
and delicate activities in computer audio than "ripping", streaming and
recording...
What about few hundreds of computer generated or professionally
recorded files a day? It is still convenient in many situations to have
plain AIFF rather than "compressed which in fact happens not to be
compressed". After all they are still way easier to debug, hack and
extensively process. It's not my fault that some industry standards
STILL do require a format that plain and robust. All I want to know is
if one can create plain AIFF within CoreAudio at all?
How to make QuickTime stand off your way? What is the corrupted part at
the end of the files?
A magic cookie? Why is it needed if the file is not compressed?
Is there a ready-made routine to write an AIFF file - not the one which
ends-up in becoming a QuickTime AIFC track?
These are just a few questions I'd appreciate to ask.
Best Regards,
Stanko
