Regardless, it has already been determined that directly connecting to 
Coreaudio (rather than using Jack as go-between) dramatically increases 
CPU load of PD. Something to watch out for!

As far glitches, I have also only experienced this with internal 
soundcard. Using the HDSP seems to work better (above problem not 
considered).

best,
