Hi Paul, Okay, I gather the 64 bit AudioUnit support I read about just referred to the OS transition (max buffer size, etc)... not the audiofile bitdepth.
That still leaves me with the same question though. I'm still not sure if the ASBD I'm getting back means "I'm currently at 32Bit because it's a reasonable default for me" or "My maximum bit depth is 32Bit" My app has support for both 32 and 64 bit audio (not much reason for 64 bit, but it's not much more code). If the AudioUnit supports it, I'd prefer not to degrade quality. Thanks!
