Ok, I fixed the MIDI devices list on Mac OS X with Japanese characters on my 10.6 machine.  I forget, is this also a problem with the Audio devices? Are Japanese characters making them not show up?

The fix will be in tomorrow's build.

If it crashes, then you'll probably need to do Audio and MIDI separately.
