Either of these is OK.
Some guidelines are worth pointing out here (they are also discussed in the
AU docs)
/System/ directories are generally *expected* to only be populated by Apple
(there are notable exceptions to this rule:)
/System/Library/Components/ IS a directory that audio units are installed in
(that's where ours are) - but this directory is only writable by root.
/Library is an admin writable set of directories that are provided to allow
3rd parties to deploy extensions that will be found by system services (such
as the process registering components)
Thus:
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components
Is provided for 3rd parties and can be written by ANY user that has admin
permissions. You only need to have your component found here for it to be
visible by ANY user of that machine...
(As a sidebar, we also provided: ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components - a
directory that is located from any users home directory. AU's that are found
here are ONLY found when that particular user logs on)...
Hope that helps
