[PD-dev] Multiple audio devices?

[Alexandre Torres Porres]

with an aggregate device, if I join the mac built in output and black hole,
what I get with [dac~ 1 2] is that it outputs to both devices at the same
time. Maybe I'm configuring something wrong... ?

but the way Pd seems to work with multiple devices is that it splits
channels for devices separately
