[linux-audio-user] Core Audio Format

Anyone know more about the details of this (kind of
looks like an ogg or avi wrapper for audio) audio
format and whether we can interoperate with it ?

. Core Audio Format is the latest addition to the
. dozens of audio formats supported natively in Mac
. OS X. Developed by Apple, Core Audio Format (CAF)
. combines virtually infinite capacity with rich
. support for metadata in an optimized-for-audio
. package. As a 64-bit file format, you can record
. a thousand channels of audio for a thousand years
. in a single file. And it can store any audio data,
. whether uncompressed PCM or compressed such as AAC.
. Application support for these files is available
. today in QuickTime 7.
