==Background==
Apple's Core Audio documentation states that "in creating this new architecture on Mac OS X, Apple's objective in the audio space has been twofold. The primary goal is to deliver a high-quality, superior audio experience for Macintosh users. The second objective reflects a shift in emphasis from developers having to establish their own audio and MIDI protocols in their applications to Apple moving ahead to assume responsibility for these services on the Macintosh platform." Some classic Mac OS calls were not ported during the Carbon transition.TechNote 1198: Sound and Carbon, Apple Computer. 2000-06-19. Archived 2001-07-03.
