Hi Jeff,
This seems to be working, in that I can create an aggregate device with no
errors. Also, I didn't need to use kAudioHardwarePropertyDeviceForUID, as
when I use the plugin to create the device, the output data of the call to
AudioObjectGetPropertyData already contains the new AudioDeviceID.
But, I have a problem. The AggregateDevice I have created does not seem to
be enabled for output, or something. Is there something I need to do to it
to enable output once it is created?
I'm actually trying to use this aggregate device with QuickTime, assigned
via an AudioContext (this bit also seems to be working without error). When
I start playback to the device via QuickTime, no audio comes out. When I
stop the movie in QuickTime, I get a spinning beachball for a few seconds,
and then when I start the movie again, I get audio. Have I missed something
I should be doing in advance?
I've also noticed that when I make this Aggregate Device public, and view it
in Audio MIDI Setup, the Audio Output area says "Output is not supported",
and likewise for input. If I click on "Configure Device", then no devices
are selected to be in the Aggregate Device. Is this significant? I don't
actually want my aggregate device to be public - I was just trying this as a
test.
Any help much appreciated!
Dave.
