If you are using the PlayFile example, then it should be sufficient to just return from your button action after calling AUGraphStart - there's no blocking going on (which is why we have to add the usleep in the command line version, otherwise the code would just continue and quit before it actually had the time to play the file)

I have a

-(IBAction)playFileNow:(id)sender

which is called from the nsbutton. It essentially does what the main () function does in PlayFile.cpp. Upon clicking, the file plays but the app becomes completely unresponsive(spinning pinwheel) until the file has been fully played. I tried removing the usleep() call but that seemed ineffective. Is this expected behaviour? How do I make my app responsive to user interaction while it plays audio?

Cool, I actually made a simple playback cocoa app that wraps the functions found in PlayFile.cpp.

few things I'd like to know:

- the NSButton stays in the on state. How do I farm-out the playback task to another thread?

The playback is happening in another thread. Once you start the graph, playback is taking care of itself:
// start playing
XThrowIfError (AUGraphStart (theGraph), "AUGraphStart");


this is the part where you just return...

we wait in the command line for the file to finish playing
// sleep until the file is finished
	usleep ((int)fileDuration * 1000 * 1000);

then we clean up.
// lets clean up
