Actually, HALLab has had full support for a GUI on the play-through
controls for a while now. Just open the device's info window and click
on the "Play Thru" tab to see all the major controls for the play-
through path.

AULab doesn't support it - it really isn't within the purview of the
way AULab operates to support this feature
AMS doesn't support it - the thru button is a separate property
So, we don't really have anything in the "OS" level that would be
useful to break this dependency cycle, and I think it really is left
to a company wanting to use this for something working with a DAW
product directly. I'm happy to facilitate this discussion (and have
tried in the past), but there isn't much we can do beyond what we
(the core audio group) has already done

It doesn't have to be a chicken-and-egg situation because Audio
MIDI Setup supports direct monitoring with the "Thru" button. I'm
sure that AULab also supports this in the correct way. So it's
really just a matter of asking audio interface companies to
implement the feature in their driver if the hardware actually
supports it.
That said, I haven't done a survey of interfaces recently. The MIO
hardware is capable of this, but the settings are so flexible that
working in a simple switch might be more trouble than it's worth.
I think perhaps most audio interface vendors expect users to work
with the custom UI for their interface because it presents richer
capabilities. As users, we probably need to urge them to provide
both where possible. I do know that MOTU interfaces can do direct
monitoring within Digital Performer, and it's even done in a way
that is hidden from their other custom UI applications. If they
can do that, then they should be able to expose this as a CoreAudio
feature.

Just wanted to ping the list and see if anyone knows which
currently shipping DAWs and I/O interface drivers currently support
CoreAudio direct monitoring? I know this has come up on the list
before, and the response has always been that the support is there
in CoreAudio, but it was a chicken-and-egg scenario where hosts
didn't want to add it if drivers didn't support it, and drivers
didn't want to add it if hosts didn't support it. So just
wondering if that situation has changed.
