Very glad to hear the document is useful to you.
1) if you hadn't passed along this nugget, what would have been the
most efficacious channel to monitor in order to have heard about
this when it was made available?
Because the new version of Core Audio Overview contains information on
nonpublic APIs, it is not available on the public portion of
developer.apple.com. For the same reason, we don't publicize it
through our normal public channels. You would have found it by logging
in to the WWDC 2008 attendee site and looking for audio content, or
the way I described.
2) any other specific documents on the way or locations to watch for
the most current releases? Neither the apple audio rss feed (http://developer.apple.com/rss/topic/audio.rss
) I had been watching seems to get everything, nor does the xcode
documentation updater.
You're looking in the right place (the RSS feed). For iPhone stuff, I
don't think we yet have an RSS feed. The Xcode documentation
subscription system should always get you our newest stuff -- but
there is a separate subscription for iPhone documentation, available
to developers who are registered in the iPhone Dev Center.
We expect to be updating our audio reference documents (for APIs that
have changed) around the time of the iPhone OS 2.0 GM date. Until
then, there are great header comments in the headers themselves
(available directly in the SDK).
Also, as others have mentioned, we cannot discuss iPhone-specific
information here. (Although we can, as you can see, discuss how to get
that information)

I know what you mean — I've found audio the single most difficult
area
of OS X to learn and work with. Unfortunately there isn't really any
reading material beyond what you can find in the online
documentation;
I have no idea why there are a bunch of Quartz graphics books but no
CoreAudio books, but that's how it is.
If you have access to the WWDC 2008 attendee site, or to the iPhone
Dev Center website, you have access to the new version of the Core
Audio Overview document. It's dated 8 June 2008. This document,
although still in progress, has a great deal of new introductory
information.
If you have access to it (or obtain access through a free iPhone
developer registration), please send me your feedback. Thanks.

Murray,
this was a fantastic tip.
I have also been slowly working my into audio programming on osx;
over time one gets to know most of the documentation quite
intimately. This document certainly helps to clarify a number of
questions I had had.
However, two quick further questions on docs:
1) if you hadn't passed along this nugget, what would have been the
most efficacious channel to monitor in order to have heard about
this when it was made available?
2) any other specific documents on the way or locations to watch for
the most current releases? Neither the apple audio rss feed (http://developer.apple.com/rss/topic/audio.rss
) I had been watching seems to get everything, nor does the xcode
documentation updater.
Thanks for your help,
Chris
