If you use the afconvert that is installed on the system (/usr/bin/ afconvert) in Leopard, does that also fail in this way? In our testing, etc, the afconvert in Leopard is writing M4A files with Apple Lossless fine. So, maybe the best fix for this is to check to see if afconvert is available on the system, and if so, use that and thus only use the code that you have built in to your app when that is false (which would be Tiger or previous systems)

Has anything changed in afconvert between Tiger and Leopard to cause the following?

My 10.4 app converts AIFF/WAV files to Apple Lossless using the afconvert tool linked into my Cocoa app. I use the command: afconvert -f 'm4af' -d 'alac' <src> <dest>. This works perfectly in Tiger, but my client has just switched to a 10.5 server and reports that some (not all) files now produce 4k stubs instead of proper .m4a files, and in testing it out I find the same.

I've recompiled everything (afconvert + my app) using the 10.5 SDK to no effect. I get no error messages at all when it runs, but the file that afconvert writes is essentially 'empty'.

Can anyone point me in the right direction, or suggest some documentation to help me figure this out?

Thanks, Rob
