I am using the SoundEngine sample code from Apple in the CrashLanding sample to play back multiple audio files. Using the sample caf files included with CrashLanding everything works fine but when I try and use my own samplesconverted to CAF using afconvert all I get is a stony silence ;)
Does anyone have settings for afconvert that will produce a CAF file capable of being played back through OpenAL?

You can open CAF files with various audio players, including QuickTime Player 7 and later (included with macOS), VideoLAN VLC media player (multiplatform), Audacity (multiplatform), and NCH WavePad (multiplatform).
iTunes doesn't support . caf file format. However you could try a program called Switch.
The audio format that Capture records within it's CAF files is Apple Lossless Audio Codec or ALAC. This is Apple's own version of a lossy compression format. Lossless audio formats contain the same data as it's full size equivalent so there is no loss of audio quality when using the ALAC audio format.
