One way to do it is to create an AudioFileID open for reading and writing
using the Audio File Services Reference
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/MusicAudio/Reference/AudioFileConvertRef/
Then you create a ExtAudioFileID for reading only using
ExtAudioFileWrapAudioFileID. This actually works, but writing to Audio file
isn't that straightforward if it's not LPCM.
