But doesn't Soundflower do anything else than the Jack Tools from http://www.jackosx.com/ ? Pd should be able to work out of the box with the CoreAudio-Jack wrapper included in the Jack Tools, or doesn't it?
To be honest, I don't know. I was very interested when I heard about Jack Tools being released, but it's not very clear on what it does and how it does it. I've just installed it now (need to restart to test).
The soundflower download is considerably smaller, so I have faith in it as a small, light shim, and I got it going with minimal effort. More choice can't hurt!
Well, as a Linux user, of course I am biased. I don't think, that fragmentation in this area (sound output, routing between apps) will benefit the general cause: more interoperability. I wished, that Cycling and Matt would have put their efforts into making Jack run on OS-X, instead of writing another software that basically does the same, but is not as powerful (yet, maybe). I see Jack as one major achievement of the Linux audio scene, that deserves more widespread use in applications (although I still cannot use it very well with Pd...)
