[PD] OSX and multiple sound devices

[hans w. koch]

you might have fouund out already...
have you tried with the aggregated audio-device-feature (osx 10.4)?
you could probably create one device out of all that (in audio-midi  
setup), which you then can choose in pd.
i have successfully used that for strange combinations of built in  
audio-in and hammerfall multiface.
