Comment (by RJVB):

 You're right, apparently we found a dangling/obsolete dependency in my
 port. Bummer.

 Upstream don't support legacy OS X versions, so it makes sense that they
 remove unnecessary code. Shouldn't be hard to reintroduce though, from the
 looks of it.

 If not ... how about JACK? If memory serves me well (rare these days ;))
 my PPC Macs were the only systems where I used that stuff with some form
 of success. PulseAudio can work, but it can also introduce noticeable lag.
 (On Linux it typically runs under some form of realtime control.)
