A note about AudioQueueNewOutput

[aldren]

Just a note about AudioQueueNewOutput: If you call this function from within the iPhone simulator, and pass to it an MP3 file, it will lock up your program (without providing a backtrace.) This is supremely annoying. Partly because of the lockup, but also because it means that as of now, my program can't accurately be simulated.

does it work on the real thing? If so, that's a real pain.

[aldren]

Yeah, it works on the real thing. I just surrounded the call in an #if !TARGET_IPHONE_SIMULATOR. It works, it'll just be silent in the simulator.

[sirtwist]

Still a pain though. That's an Apple standard function?

Looks like it's part of Core Audio, so yeah. It also exists on OS X, so I'm not sure what could be causing the problem.
