struct

The definition of AudioBufferList looks weird to me… i guess my C is not so good

struct AudioBufferList
{
    UInt32      mNumberBuffers;
    AudioBuffer mBuffers[kVariableLengthArray];
};
typedef struct AudioBufferList  AudioBufferList;

Why

AudioBuffer mBuffers[kVariableLengthArray];

and not

AudioBuffer *mBuffers;

?

kVariableLengthArray appears to be == 1. Eh?

I think i have it working but would appreciate it if anyone could set me straight.
