Yes, possible it is. Its just a matter of splintering the code with
#ifdef's :)

Truth is, qjackctl was designed from the ground up as an exclusive Linux
Audio tool. It just happens that ALSA is a cornerstone for MIDI sequencing
on Linux, and makes it the perfect companion to JACK, at least until JACK 
handles MIDI events too.

OTOH I seem to remember that Stephane Letz has come with a native
interface control for JACK on MacOSX. In fact, IIRC, Stephane is the
author of the JACK port for OSX (i.e. CoreAudio backend). Again, I think
the OSX package includes a GUI tool which has the very same mission as
qjackctl on Linux, something called JackPilot, or something...

Cheers.

Yes, JackOSX comes with its own GUI controller, but there are two main 
issue with it:
It will not work for a GNU/Darwin user, and it wont work under 
full-screen X11.

Right now I'm experimenting with using full-screen X and FVWM on top of 
Mac OSX, because I want to customive the look and feel of my laptop, 
(and because I'm starting to hate that menu bar ;). As well, my personal 
preference is for QJackCTL.

As of todays CVS commit [qjackctl 0.2.15.5]:

- ALSA/MIDI sequencer support is now an option, otherwise detected at
  configure time and conditionally compiled in if, and only if, ALSA
  is found available (which has been a primordial assumption on Linux
  systems:).

Please check it out and test if it makes alright.

Bye.

QJackCTL built and running on Mac OSX 10.3.8! =)

It can't start jack (no coreaudio driver option) and it doesn't use the 
proper name for hardware interfaces, but it runs!

As of latest CVS HEAD [qjackctl 0.2.15.8] I've made some provisions and
include the coreaudio backend option on setup.

I guess you may now set the proper device name (Interface) and device ID
(Channel/Device ID), and that will be fed into jackd. I just can't tell
whether this is really enough, as I have no OSX near me.

Would you please check if these are of any good?

Cheers.
