Playback MP3 using RemoteIO and AudioUnits on iPhone... possible?

Question

I want to playback an mp3 rather than an uncompressed file using RemoteIO / AudioUnit. Using uncompressed files obviously uses far too much disk space (30MB vs 3MB for mp3).

Is this even possible? If so, can you provide a little code headstart?

Thanks a million.

Same question here. Any help?

How low-level do you want to go? You could use the AudioHardware API:

err = AudioDeviceAddIOProc(deviceID, ioProc, self);

and in your ioProc fill the buffers yourself, listen for hardware changes, and deal with real-time threading and a lot of other low-level stuff.

I'm assuming you're already decoding the mp3 data with AudioConverter and know how to do that.
