[Mono-osx] How do I play audio files using AudioToolbox APIs?

[Andrew Friedley]

Still trying to figure out.. I found that I can use audio units to output sound too, and tried working off this example:

https://github.com/migueldeicaza/MonoTouch.AudioUnit/blob/master/MonoTouch_AudioUnit_PlayingSoundFile/ExtAudioFilePlayer.cs

However a System.EntryPointNotFound exception is thrown from AudioComponentFindNext when I try to do this:

aComponent = AudioComponent.FindComponent(AudioTypeOutput.Default);

The example I linked to uses AudioTypeOutput.Remote, but that isn't defined in monomac.  I've tried all four of the available options with the same result:  Default, Generic, HAL, System.

Can anyone help, or point me at a working monomac example?  Thanks,

Andrew

I've been looking at the mono touch StreamingAudio example, but AudioFile doesn't have the event callbacks (PacketDecoded, PropertyFound) that AudioFileStream does.

I've been trying to figure out how to get that data into an IntPtr form for handing off to OutputAudioQueue.EnqueueBuffer, but not having any luck.  What is the proper way to pull data from an audio file and play it using the AudioToolbox APIs?
