Each audio file type lists the data formats supported for that type. That is, a converter exists to convert data from the particular file format to any of the listed data formats. Some data formats (such as AC3) cannot be converted to a linear PCM format and therefore cannot be handled by standard audio units.

A Core Audio Format (CAF) file can contain audio data of any format. Any application that supports the CAF file format can write audio data to the file or extract the data it contains. However, the ability to encode or decode the audio data contained within it is dependent on the audio codecs available on the system.
