I think the OS can do it on Mac (over a decade ago that I've used Macs, 
but back then it was called "aggregate device" and you set up such meta 
device which is composed of multiple soundcards. It exposes then the sum 
of the inputs/outputs to the system).

I have no idea about the rationale not to include that function in Pd on 
Mac, but I assume it's better if the OS is doing it. From what I 
understood Apple is doing resampling anyway to compensate for clock 
drifts, just like pipewire does on Linux.
