but will it send to more than one output at the same time (ie Digital Out and Line-Out)? Downloaded and installed but cant see how it does that
Looked this up today..
1. Aggregate device doesn't do this. The most you can get is - Channel 1 (Left) going to one device and Channel 2 (right) going to a second device.
2. Working Solution : Airfoil by Rogue Amoeba - $29.00
It works by 'sending' the audio to recievers.. the upshot of which you can run airfoil on your mac sending audio
then run the AirSpeaker app.. receiving audio.. then tell the AirSpeaker app to use a different interface.
I suspect there will be a slight (ms) delay between the two inputs but i haven't noticed it quite yet.
My simple goal was to set up my Macbook to use its speakers and an external sub.. Seemingly easy. Wow.
Not. I'm using a usb soundcard for the second out via airfoil.
The Airfoil app is $30.. not sure its worth that much yet.
3. There really should be a way to turn on the both outputs if you so desire, or to bond two interfaces to output
one audio stream. Another work around would be to use an app that outputs to 2 or more devices at the
same time which I think is the way Apple envisioned it.
Hope it helps,

At least with Lion there is an option in audio midi setup to send the audio stream to multiple outs, I just tested it an sent audio to a firewire interface and the built in speakers successfully, no delay.
awesome... where would that be found in the audio midi setup app? i can't seem to find the option!
