OS X / iOS - Sample rate conversion for a buffer using AudioConverterFillComplexBuffer

I'm writing a CoreAudio backend for an audio library called XAL. Input buffers can be of various sample rates. I'm using a single audio unit for output. Idea is to convert the buffers and mix them prior to sending them to the audio unit.

Everything works as long as the input buffer has the same properties (sample rate, channel count, etc) as the output audio unit. Hence, the mixing part works.

However, I'm stuck with sample rate and channel count conversion. From what I figured out, this is easiest to do with Audio Converter Services API. I've managed to construct a converter; the idea is that the output format is the same as the output unit format, but possibly adjusted for purposes of the converter.

Audio converter is successfully constructed, but upon calling AudioConverterFillComplexBuffer(), I get output status error -50.

I'd love if I could get another set of eyeballs on this code. Problem is probably somewhere below AudioConverterNew(). Variable stream contains incoming (and outgoing) buffer data, and streamSize contains byte-size of incoming (and outgoing) buffer data.

What did I do wrong?

void CoreAudio_AudioManager::_convertStream(Buffer* buffer, unsigned char** stream, int *streamSize)
{
    if (buffer->getBitsPerSample() != unitDescription.mBitsPerChannel || 
        buffer->getChannels() != unitDescription.mChannelsPerFrame || 
        buffer->getSamplingRate() != unitDescription.mSampleRate)
    {
        printf("INPUT STREAM SIZE: %d\n", *streamSize);
        // describe the input format's description
        AudioStreamBasicDescription inputDescription;
        memset(&inputDescription, 0, sizeof(inputDescription));
        inputDescription.mFormatID = kAudioFormatLinearPCM;
        inputDescription.mFormatFlags = kLinearPCMFormatFlagIsPacked | kLinearPCMFormatFlagIsSi
