Re: AudioFileWritePackets doesn't write until AudioFileClose

.m4a/.mp4 files are currently cached in memory when writing, regardless of that property setting.

Other file formats are written to disk immediately. kAudioFilePropertyDeferSizeUpdates controls whether the implementation will go seeking around the file to update chunk sizes (as in AIFF etc) after every call to write data -- in case you want to sacrifice performance for a better probability that the file will be consistent if you happen to crash before closing it.

I have a lot of things working correctly now. Thanks to everybody on the list for their help. There is still one bizarre problem though. AudioFileWritePackets doesn't actually write anything to file until AudioFileClose is called. This is a problem because AudioFileWritePackets keeps consuming memory.

Is there a way to turn this caching off?

The header documentation states that kAudioFilePropertyDeferSizeUpdates is off by default.

I apologize for asking this, because I'm pretty sure I saw this question in the list archives before, while searching on a different problem. I'm unable to find it right now.
