QT has it's own APIs for metering movies during playback. Plus, it also has an API that let's you directly tap the audio. You'll probably want to talk to the QT folks about these APIs.

Lucky for me, one of the QT folks wandered over to this list and provided the quick answer I was looking for. But if I need further help I'll ask on the appropriate QT list.


Of course, this only applies to audio produced by QT. Audio produced through other means won't be available as there is no central point in an app that you can tap all audio. (It's a very distributed model where the participants are deliberately ignorant of each other.)

I'm starting to get the general idea of the Core Audio system from studying the docs, and it is very different from the graphics and video APIs which I'm more familiar with. I hope I have a chance to actually do something with it in a future project, so I can learn how it all works!


(A quick overview of the project, in case it helps. This is a multi-media kiosk display system consisting of a player app plus "helper" apps to play QuickTime files. The helpers run as separate processes to prevent QuickTime instabilities and memory leaks from messing with the player.

Hopefully, you are filing bugs about any such issues rather than just working around them. We can't fix bugs we don't know about.

Yes I will be filing a bug report about the QT memory leak, it's easily reproducible.


Thanks for your help!

Bob S.
