Hi,

I'm using the file player au in my app and I've experienced some problems with certain file formats.
When I try to play these files with any of the common audio applications it works fine.
so I was wondering why none of these them can be opened/played with the fileplayer (or afinfo, afplay etc.) and if there's a work around.
(by the way..is there a list of all formats supported (or not supported) by the fileplayer somewhere... I couldn't find it in the docs.)

Any file format that can be read by the AudioFile API, if it contains a data format that can be decoded (if not PCM) by AudioConverter. Trying building afconvert (from AudioFileTools) in the CA examples and running it without arguments -- it will list the supported file and data formats.


trying to open/play any of these files fails:
-protected AAC audio file (from the iTunes Music Store)
-> Error: open audio file ('typ?')

Decoding protected AAC requires QuickTime -- playing a file on an unauthorized computer can lead to a dialog prompting you to go the iTunes store and authorize your machine as I just was reminded...


-some mpeg-1, layer-3, 192 kbps, 44,1 khz, stereo files
-> Error: open audio file ('dta?')

-m4a files on intel core duo's
-> loading works, but resetting the fileplayer is not possible, even caused AU lab crash (I've filed a bug report about this a while ago)

The 10.4.7 update was just released today -- do these problems persist on 10.4.7?
