I don't know if CoreAudio support has been intentionally removed from MPD in MacPorts for some particular reason or if this was not intentional... in any case, I am attaching a patch to enable it. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/42062> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

Yes I suspected that... What is the recommended output plugin on OS-X then? Jack? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/42062#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

Why don't we just keep the CoreAudio available as a port variant? I'm pretty sure many folks will be happy with it. At least until someone takes the necessary time to clean up and debug the code. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/42062#comment:8> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
