Overview

This header includes the C interface to IOAudio functions, used for controlling audio devices. Developers are encouraged to use the Core Audio HAL rather than attempting to control an audio device directly.

For more information on the Core Audio HAL, download the Core Audio SDK from http://developer.apple.com/audio/.

Functions

IOAudioFlush: Indicate the position at which the audio stream can be stopped.
IOAudioIsOutput: Determines if the audio stream is an output stream
IOAudioSetErase: Set autoerase flag, returns old value
