Hi Marshall,
I'm not sure whether Alex's suggestion was for Google search terms or
for a specific program, but there was some discussion about this on
the mac-access list in mid-June under the subject of "Audio routing
software", if your mail still keeps these messages. For what you're
describing, which involves both re-routing, simultaneous different
apps, and right and left audio sources, I'd probably take a look at
either WireTap Anywhere or WireTap Studio. I don't know whether it's
easily possible, but the discussion following the MacWorld article
about WireTap Anywhere makes me suspect these would be the likely
programs to check. See:
http://www.macworld.com/article/135011/2008/08/wta.html
(WireTap Anywhere lets you redirect Mac audio -- August 14, 2008)
and also look at the TidBITS page:
http://db.tidbits.com/article/9758
(WireTap Anywhere Records from Multiple Sources -- September 7, 2008)
Both these articles describe how you can redirect audio to different
channels.
The problem is that while software like Soundflower (freeware that
comes with Audio Hijack Pro and used with their Instant Hijack suite)
can redirect sound, it's usually just for 2-channel mode, and won't
separate these. Jack (another software set) has slightly different
configuration modes, but I don't know whether it can be set up to
redirect separate channels of output to two different apps
simultaneously. Also, if you recall any of the discussion in the
posts, Instant Hijack's re-routing method,which uses haxies (an
unsupported "hack" that assumes some system controls), temporarily led
to a clash with Apple's security updates, so people who had any of the
suite of Rogue Amoeba products that re-routed sound with the same
scheme (Airfoil, Nicecast, Instant Hijack, etc.) couldn't use SSH at
all until Rogue Amoeba issued a fix. So I think you might better look
at supported commercial software here than exploring the Open Source
Jack or Jack Pilot projects.
Note that I don't use these options myself, so you may get a better
answer from someone on this list who is experienced in working with
audio at this level. Otherwise, check the links above and follow
their links to the trial version download page at Ambrosia Software.
You might also see whether the less expensive WireTap Studio might
also work for you.
Cheers,
Esther

Hi,
Does anyone know of a program that would allow me to redirect the
sound from a program to one side of a stereo headset? What I'm
looking for specifically is a way to put Voiceover's output in one
ear
and Quiktime in the other. I'd google the topic but I haven't the
faintest idea of what to use for search terms.
THanks,
Marshall
