This topic came up on this very list not more than a few months ago. The conversation starts in the archives here: http://lists.apple.com/archives/coreaudio-api/2004/Oct/msg00144.html and continues for a handful of messages.

The short answer is that hardware monitoring has been supported since the very first release of Mac OS X (actually it was supported even before that) and was improved greatly in 10.3 with the addition of more kinds of controls the driver can provide that modify the monitor signal path. Apps and drivers have yet to catch up with what the system supports in this area.

Dear Core Audio group....

I recently googled the net (there's a phrase you wouldn't hear a few years ago) regarding the latest developments on Direct Hardware Monitoring with OS X and core audio. I was unable to find any new information in the intervening year since this was last brought up in detail on the Core Audio List.

This component of DAW/hardware control is critical to the advancement of technologies in the professional recording field, and my studio specifically. I am looking to the future for Chicago Public Radio to expand our use of applications such as Nuendo on a Mac platform so that we can provide audio services for our listeners and our record/CD clients.

Currently I cannot work efficiently with this application due to the contraints put on my systems due to a lack of direct monitoring. Are there any new developments in this area?

Low Latency monitoring of audio, whether it be from a tape machine or DAW, is critical to a professional headphone mix for the band and artists. This simply isn't possible short of a ProTools system.

I can't stress enough the importance of this issue.
