Audio Unit File Reader with AudioFileID and Encrypted File

Question

I am reading in and playing audio files in MacOS using Audio Unit Generator AudioFilePlayer

AudioComponentDescription fileplayercd = {0};
fileplayercd.componentType = kAudioUnitType_Generator;
fileplayercd.componentSubType = kAudioUnitSubType_AudioFilePlayer;
fileplayercd.componentManufacturer = kAudioUnitManufacturer_Apple;
AUNode fileNode;
AUGraphAddNode(graph, &fileplayercd, &fileNode);

and setting its source file with

CFURLRef inputFileUrl =CFURLCreateWithFileSystemPath(kCFAllocatorDefault, INPUT_FILE_LOCATION, kCFURLPOSIXPathStyle, false);
AudioFileID inputFile;
AudioFileOpenURL(inputFileUrl, kAudioFileReadPermission, 0, &inputFile)
AUGraphNodeInfo(graph, fileNode, NULL, fileAU);
AudioUnitSetProperty(fileAU, kAudioUnitProperty_ScheduledFileIDs, kAudioUnitScope_Global, 0, &inputFile, sizeof(inputFile))

but my real audio files are all encrypted so I cannot use a raw AudioFileID. Instead, I need to somehow extend the ID and insert the decrypt code before any "real" reads. Is this possible?

This can be accomplished using AudioFileOpenWithCallbacks with parameters for read getsize callbacks.

OSStatus result = AudioFileOpenWithCallbacks((__bridge void*)audioData, readProc, 0, getSizeProc, 0, 0, &inputFile);

Details on usage can be found in this related question.
