Have been trying to connect an external CD music player to play through
my Mac G5 to an amp and speakers. It works fine, both in digital and
analogue.
But the CD player always needs to play through some sort of sound
software. Been using Audio Recorder and set it to 'Play through'.
Is there a method of making an external input 'just play' without the
need to launch an intermediate application?
Something that would just stay in the background waiting to be called
upon?
