I do not really know.

At this point I have only be able to get audio in and out of PD (for OS 
X) via the Built-In Audio Controller.  I have tried the Mbox (2 in 2 
out) with the new CoreAudio driver for Mbox and have had no success.  I 
hear that Digidesign is working on a new CoreAudio driver for Mbox so 
we'll see then.  I do not own any other hardware so I have not tried 
anything else.

When I type pd -listdev on the command line, the report is:
%pd -listdev
Number of devices = 4
---------------------------------------------- #1 DefaultInput
Name         = Built-in audio controller
Max Inputs   = 2, Max Outputs = 0
Sample Rate Range = 8000.000000 to 96000.000000
Native Sample Formats = paFloat32,
---------------------------------------------- #2
Name         = Digidesign HW ( MBox )
Max Inputs   = 1, Max Outputs = 0
Sample Rate Range = 8000.000000 to 96000.000000
Native Sample Formats = paFloat32,
---------------------------------------------- #3 DefaultOutput
Name         = Built-in audio controller
Max Inputs   = 0, Max Outputs = 2
Sample Rate Range = 8000.000000 to 96000.000000
Native Sample Formats = paFloat32,
---------------------------------------------- #4
Name         = Digidesign HW ( MBox )
Max Inputs   = 0, Max Outputs = 1
Sample Rate Range = 8000.000000 to 96000.000000
Native Sample Formats = paFloat32,
----------------------------------------------
Which seems to indicate that the Mbox has 1 in and 1 out (at least that 
is how I read it).  I may be interpreting the returned data 
incorrectly, however.
