Offline rendering Worked for me using GenericOutput AudioUnit.
I am sharing the working code here.
core-audio framework seems a little though. But small-small things in it like ASBD, parameters ...etc are making these issues. try hard it will work. Don't give-up :-). core-audio is very powerful and useful while dealing with low-level audio. Thats what I learned from these last weeks. Enjoy :-D ....
