Hi GF, Allison, and Yuma,
I'll paste in some more description from an old post of mine to the
Mac-Access list written two years ago on the subject of audio routing
software.

Subject: Audio Routing Software: Soundflower and Jack [was Re:
Getting iTunes to use specific audio device.]
Date: June 14, 2008
Yes, it is possible to configure iTunes to play to a different sound
output device (such as an alternative sound card). What you need is
a software tool like Soundflower or JackPilot, that allows you to
reroute
your audio connections for the purposes of either monitoring or
or redirecting output from one audio application to to another.
This kind of capability has been widely used by podcasters who need
to separate different audio inputs and outputs.
Here's an excerpt from an old descriptor release of Soundflower:
Cycling '74 originally developed Soundflower as a way to allow
applications developed with its Max/MSP audio environment to process
audio originating from other programs. However, it can be used for
more general audio routing tasks patching either 2- or 16-channel data
at 32-bit sample depth between any applications that support standard
Core Audio driver selection. Soundflower can be selected as a "default
device" in the Audio/MIDI Setup utility for programs (such as iTunes)
that do not allow the selection of a specific output device. As a
result, Soundflower has found widespread use in the advanced
podcasting community.
Rogue Amoeba (maker of Audio Hijack Pro and Airfoil) distributes
Soundflower with its products, but you can separately get the latest
version (1.3.1) of Soundflower from <snipped>

HTH. Cheers,
Esther

Hi GF,
I think Soundflower routes the audio input from your mic in to
system sounds. I also think it is responsible for Hijacking audio
with Safari.
