The .m4a Audio File component uses a library that return error codes in this range ... (not that it should, but it does). This error is returned from quite a number of places that parse/manipulate the file so, sorry, I can't be more specific about what might be going wrong.

I suggest you write a Radar and attach a short file that reproduces the problem.

I have run into a problem attempting to open an m4a file (Apple Lossless, 44.1 kHz) using ExtAudioFileOpen(). The function is returning a -6 error code, which I cannot find documentation for anywhere! I've looked in MacErrors.h and many of the CoreAudio headers as well. Can anyone provide a definition of a -6 result?

Just as additional information, the only thing that is semi- remarkable about this file is that some of the metadata contains non-ASCII characters. The file plays fine in both iTunes and QuickTime player. I am stumped as to why it won't open.
