EDITOR NOTES
The download includes the source code.
DESCRIPTION
Soundflower is a virtual audio device that provides an easy and simple way for Max/MSP and other applications to send and receive audio to and from any other application. Running with very low latency and CPU usage, Soundflower allows each client application to use its usual buffer size. Soundflower includes an uninstaller.
Example: To send audio from iTunes to Max/MSP, open the System Preferences and select Soundflower (2ch) as the device for sound output inside the Sound panel. Then, inside Max/MSP's DSP Status Window, select Core Soundflower (2ch) as the input device. All output of iTunes should now be sent to Max/MSP's adc~ object.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.3.1: Soundflower 1.3 was bundled with Rogue Amoeba's products. Thus, all my mistakes were revealed... This patch is by Quentin D. Carnicelli of Rogue Amoeba, wherein he fixes multiple bugs that made Soundflower 1.3 unusable on most PPC machines, and probably some Intel machines. (The bugs were: float operations aren't allowed in kernel and has to be compiled as separate static library, which I had forgotten; and channel muting wasn't properly implemented). Thanks, Quentin! My apologies to Neil Clayton for being so slow with the release.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.2 or later.

KFKERNEL I downloaded (twice) and each time did the install as usual. Everything seemed normal, but no application is produced. When I search for "Soundflower" I get only the many files that are in the downloaded folder. I am using a PPC with OSX 10.5.6.

DEVNEVYN Remove /System/Library/Extensions/Soundflower.kext and reboot. Sorry, I'll add the uninstaller in the next release. My apologies for missing that. (I'm the one who makes the 1.3.x releases)

Do not install v1.2 if you are already running an older version of Soundflower on your PPC Mac. v1.2 will most likely not work anymore, although it will report a successful installation. Just stay with v1.1 until they fix it.

LOUKASH Same here. "Not installed". The previous version worked flawlessly. I'm going to reinstall it from a backup. I'm using a PowerBook G4/1.67 15", OS 10.4.7. What confuguration are you guys using?

I just checked the Cycling'74 forums and obviously they screwed it up so that Sunflower 1.2 runs on most MacIntels but not on PPCs. So, if you are on a PPC Mac and you still have a backup of v1.1, revert to that version until they fixed it. In fact, it seems that the only change is that v1.2 is supposed to be an "Universal" Binary, which it is obviously not... :P If you're using a PPC Mac, DO NOT UPDATE to v1.2 yet!

JEFFERYN ditto to the above comments, installation indicates success, after reboot i see no new "audio devices" in audio control panel, soundflower app states it is not installed... but soundflower.kext is in system extensions directory. curiously, the kext file has a version of 1.0.1, not 1.2 (in finder, get-info)... so, where does one find version 1.1? i searched and couldn't find a link for it here or elsewhere... | |

INANE I tried to install this on my MacBook and it doesn't seem to work. Does anyone know if there will be a universal binary coming and when?

DAH StuffIt, is not included in the 10.4 install. So you need to download StuffIt 10.0, to open the "sit" file.

CTFCPUG right click on the .sit file and force it to use Stuffit to open the file and you'll get the regular Sunflower.dmg file to install with
