iphone

Hello,

I'm making an iPhone game application using Core Audio, Extended Audio File Services.

It works OK, but when I first call AudioOutputUnitStart, it takes about 1-2 seconds. After the second call, no problem. For a game application, 1-2 seconds is very noticeable. (I tested this on iPhone simulator, and iPhone 3GS)

Also, if I leave the game for about 10 seconds, first call of AudioOutputUnitStart also takes time.

Maybe I have to call AudioOutputUnitStart beginning of the application to prevent the start-up time?
