But doesn't Soundflower do anything else than the Jack Tools from
http://www.jackosx.com/ ? Pd should be able to work out of the box
with the CoreAudio-Jack wrapper included in the Jack Tools, or doesn't
it? You don't need to run it with "-jack" like on Linux. Than you
wouldn't be tied to just using 2 or 16 channels and also should be
able to connect more than two applications.

Somehow I don't see what Soundflower does, that Jack can't do, too.
But then I don't have a Mac and never tested it, so bear with me if
this is just theory...

ciao
