afInitByteOrder(3)
==================

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 linkaf: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 linkaf: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.
