i stand corrected and amazed. i really thought support had to be 
compiled in. thanks for the support and info. have to confess that 
before OSX [and its terminal window in particular], i wouldn't even look 
sideways at a Mac. now they seem almost usable! ;-)

would be nice to see some info on the Jack site about compiling for OSX. 
right now, almost all infos are Linux-related [i.e. requires >2.4.18 
kernel, etc etc.] is there a good reference page i could show Mac folks? 
also, check out qjackctl for a great GUI tool for controlling Jack. i 
imagine that you would need an X server running on your Mac, but after 
that, it is just a wrapper for the command lines that start and stop 
Jack with optional arguments, and also provides the 'patchbay' for 
connecting apps. [but you probably know this already...]

rock on!
