Hmm, ok I suggest you have a look at the sample code in /boot/optional/sample
-code/media_kit/MediaFile/easy/easy-media-reader.cpp
That shows how to open a file and extract raw audio from it.
For a more complex one look at /boot/optional/sample-code/media_kit/MediaFile
/mplay
If you have a valid decoder then it should return you buffers of whatever
the decoder can handle. Some decoders may not be able to give you what you
want though, you basically ask for a format but the decoder may say no.

I believe that this is what will be done. We cannot recreate the current
BeOS encoder/decoder API as it was never public so a new one will be
developed.

Hmm, maybe. If you write some code to decoder/encode the data you want I
can turn it into a decoder/encoder.
What file formats are you trying to do?
