Hi everyone,

When I first heard about plans for OS X Audio services I assumed that it would provide interapplication streaming of audio that would replace ReWire. It seems now that ReWire is getting alot of attention (eg ProTools implementation). Was I overestimating the power of OS X audio?

Yeah, me too.

However, sending MIDI across application borders is not a problem (Virtual inputs).

For Audio you can do two things:

1. Write a virtual Input/Output device (Virtual Soundcard)
2. Use Mach kernel messaging, pipes or such to provide a stream from one app/AU to another app/AU

What I thought of first was creating AUs on the fly (see that thread some weeks ago) from memory which then could be seen from within other apps, but that doesn't work because it is a deprecated stuff in the ComponenManager API which weirdly still sits in the documentation.

Anyway, I can't imagine what effort has to be done to compensate for latencies then...

Cheers,

;) Urs
