iPhone AVCaptureDeviceInput How to Set Quality of Audio Capture?

Question

The following code is working fine (some checking and code eliminated) at 44100 depth 2 which seems to be the default. Since this interface is usable, but not documented well, anyone know of how to change the default quality?

audioCaptureDevice = [AVCaptureDevice defaultDeviceWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeAudio];
captureSession = [[AVCaptureSession alloc] init];
audioInput = [AVCaptureDeviceInput deviceInputWithDevice:audioCaptureDevice error:&error];
[captureSession addInput:audioInput];
audioOutput = [[AVCaptureAudioDataOutput alloc] init];
[audioOutput setSampleBufferDelegate:self queue:dispatch_get_main_queue()];
[captureSession addOutput:audioOutput];

Answer 1

This should do the trick.
