I should point out that most of you don't seem to actually know what
ReWire really is. It is _not_ an IPC mechanism for audio. Rather, it is
an API for loading the Propellerheads engine into another app's
process. The only IPC going on is the exchange of control information
between the host app and the Propellerheads app.
As such, there really isn't anything for Core Audio to do to replicate
something like ReWire. One can achieve the same effect by writing a
suitably complex Music Device Audio Unit that requires a whole
application to do the AUView stuff. You can use the IPC protocol of
your choice, but MIDI events or AppleEvents seem like a good way to go.
We have duly noted the request for having an audio IPC mechanism.

it only records from other applications - no routing to others???

the two concepts here are different.
the copyright concern/drm problems were because users wanted the
ability to capture the audio output from any application, even if it
was not directly supported.
what we're talking about here is an API that applications can use to
specifically support passing audio buffers between processes. an
application would have to be written to this API to support this, so
users would still not be able to "steal" audio from apps that didn't
support it.
