This chapter discusses new features of QuickTime audio. For information about the audio and the uses of the Sound Manager, refer to Inside Macintosh: Sound and Sound Manager 3.3 Release Notes .
This chapter focuses on issues that are relevant to QuickTime. Note that Sound Manager is now multi-platform, so that the same API and features are available to QuickTime programmers on all platforms.
This chapter also discusses how QuickTime 3 handles compressed audio, in addition to the two recent extensions defined to the SoundDescription sample description record. The first extension is the slope/intercept/minClip/maxClip parameters for audio. The second is the ability to store data specific to a given audio decompressor in the SoundDescription.
