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

[Daniel Nigrin]

For OS X, use "Aggregate Devices."

Go to Audio MIDI Setup, click the little "+" in the lower left corner, and
select Create Aggregate Device.  This will allow you to group your various
input and output devices, and have them presented to whatever software as a
"single" device.

Hope that helps,
Dan

Subject:  [PD] Is "Audio Settings > Use Multiple Devices" available on Mac

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).
