#include <audiofile.h>
void afInitCompression(AFfilesetup setup, int track, int compression);
Parameters
setup is a valid file setup returned by 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.

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

AF_BAD_FILESETUP
setup represents an invalid file setup.
AF_BAD_TRACKID
