Why is Apple Demo code throwing -10878 (invalid parameter)

I have downloaded the WWDC signal generator example code for 2019 session 510 "What's New in AVAudioEngine."

at link

When I run it in XCode 13.2 on OSX 12.3 on a M1 Mac Mini , on line 99

let mainMixer = engine.mainMixerNode

I get 9 lines

in the console output.

-10878 is in valid parameter

But the program seems to run as expected.

Can this just be ignored, or does it indicate improper setup?
