[PD] Is "Audio Settings > Use Multiple Devices" available on Mac OSX?

[Santiago J. Barro Torres]

Hello everybody,


My name is Santiago, and I am an embedded software engineer. I have been
playing around Pure Data for some time, and now I would like to further
develop my skills on Music Design // Music Programming.

I am working with three versions of pd: Windows, Linux and Mac OSX.
Currently, I am having a look at how to use several [adc~] and [dac~]
(several input/output devices). In particularly I am doing some experiments
using several external USB/FireWire sound cards.

So my question is if somebody knows if this feature (using multiple
devices) is available on Mac OSX. I have been configuring it on a Windows
machine (under Media > Audio Settings > Use Multiple Devices), where I can
select i.e. three input devices and two output devices. This button (Use
Multiple Devices) doesn't seem to appear in the Mac OSX version of Pure
Data, despite of several input/output devices being available!

I have found some old threads dealing with this topic, but it doesn't seem
to be a clear answer. Why is this option available in Windows and not in
Mac OSX?

I have done some research by myself and get this thing working, but without
luck. If somebody here comes up with a good answer, I will be very
grateful. So I thank you all for your time.

Software Versions: I am using an "old" Intel Mac OS X 10.6.8 32-bit, and
tried with pd vanilla (0.45.4, last version) and pd-extended (0.43.4, last
version).
