That's the Digidesign Audio Engine library that they're talking about. It's a completely separate, and totally proprietary way of talking to Digi hardware. The issue that everyone here is running into is Digi's CoreAudio driver. Users expect a CoreAudio driver to work in a certain way, which Digi's driver most certainly does not.

I've personally had code output sound to an Mbox without trouble, using the CA driver and no special libraries from Digidesign. But as soon as you starting mixing applications--which is half (or more!) the power of OS X, I might add--their driver breaks.

Okay Chris!

Do you mean "mixing applications" as in running several audio apps simultaneously through the Digi CA driver? Digi has stated that their driver will currently not work in this kind of multi-client way. And I might add that they will probably never fix that. (Great expections for the future...)

Personally I can't understand why I should not be able to have say Logic, iTunes and Quicktime player open at the same time and all audio running from Digi's hardware...I probably won't ever invest more money on Digidesign products.
