Whoops, I see you meant the Snack sound library and not snackAmp.

No, Snack hasn't been updated in five or six years. It builds, but it 
doesn't run as well on OS X as on Windows. I saw a posting on the Core 
Audio mailing list that said it makes use of ancient and deprecated Core 
Audio functions, but no one has responded to queries/bug reports about it.
