NAME
       afInitCompression - initialize compression for a track in an audio file
       setup

SYNOPSIS
       #include <audiofile.h>

       void afInitCompression(AFfilesetup setup, int track, int compression);

PARAMETERS
       setup is a valid file setup returned by afNewFileSetup(3).

       track specifies a track within the audio file setup. track is always
       AF_DEFAULT_TRACK for all currently supported file formats.

       compression is an identifier specifying the compression type (such as
       AF_COMPRESSION_G711_ULAW) to be used for audio data in the track.

DESCRIPTION
       Given an AFfilesetup structure created with afNewFileSetup(3) and a
       track identified by track (AF_DEFAULT_TRACK for all currently supported
       file formats), afInitCompression initializes the track to the specified
       compression.

       The following compression types are currently supported:

       AF_COMPRESSION_NONE
           no compression

       AF_COMPRESSION_G711_ULAW
           CCITT G.711 mu-law encoding

       AF_COMPRESSION_G711_ALAW
           CCITT G.711 A-law encoding

       AF_COMPRESSION_IMA
           IMA ADPCM encoding

       AF_COMPRESSION_MS_ADPCM
           MS ADPCM encoding

       AF_COMPRESSION_FLAC
           FLAC

       AF_COMPRESSION_ALAC
           Apple Lossless Audio Codec

ERRORS
       afInitCompression can produce the following errors:

       AF_BAD_FILESETUP

           setup represents an invalid file setup.

       AF_BAD_TRACKID

           track represents an invalid track identifier.

       AF_BAD_COMPTYPE

           compression represents an invalid compression type.
