Leopard Guides: Audio

Core Audio's Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) acts as the interface between an audio device driver and an audio application. The HAL supports native multichannel audio in a manner that is scalable to future high-resolution formats. Developers can create audio devices compatible with Apple products and use HAL and I/O Kit APIs to create software to access audio devices.
