Hi.  I have removed mutexes and have gone with NSOperationQueues to handle my audio conversion.  However, I still have a few questions about the Apple iPhoneExtAudioFileConvertTest sample, which I don't seem to find answers to.  Maybe the Apple folks can resolve these:

1-  Will converting from MP3 to PCM ever cause a read or write to be interrupted?  I guess I am asking if hardware encoders/decoders are sed for MP3 to PCM conversion.
2-  There is a comment in ExtAduioFileConvert.cpp:

       //***** do the read and write - the conversion is done on and by the write call *****//
I believe this to be incorrect.  If I am converting from MP3 to PCM, the conversion happens during the read, not the write.

Correct?

Thanks.
