Since upgrading to tvOS 18, the above function isn't working for me in converting a stream with these formats. It does work in decoding AAC, however.

I pass a valid ioOutputDataPacketSize in, but it always comes out as zero.

Has anyone else observed this too?

I wonder if this is related to the issue being discussed widely about 5.1 sound being broken for many people after upgrading to tvOS 18?

EDIT: further information; the callback gets called once, asking for 1 packet (which is ok). I give it one packet and return noErr. However, after this, the callback is never invoked again. Must be a bug?

EDIT2: the same code continues to work correctly on macOS in decoding the same audio stream.
