!notes for getting xmms-jack output plugin to work for xmms/OSX the native OSX output apperently doesn't work correctly with 'other' sound hardware, seems to be a sample rate issue. chose to use jack rather then deal with esd.

Compiling some other packages against libsamplerate may require 
the addition of "/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig" to the 
PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable.

!AlchemyTV DVR app crashes if jack is running - wrapped compiled in playtpus:

Kirara:/Applications/AlchemyTV DVR binary$ cat watch-tv.sh
#!/bin/sh
/Applications/Utilities/jack-stop.sh
sleep 1
open /Applications/AlchemyTV\ DVR/AlchemyTV\ DVR.app/
sleep 30
/Applications/Utilities/jack-start.sh


!wrapper to start jack:

Kirara:/Applications/Utilities binary$ cat jack-start.sh 
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/./jackd -R -d coreaudio -r 48000 -p 512 -o 2 -i 2 -n "com_midiman_driver_Delta_AudioEngine:Delta_0x00000003:D6341412:0" &


!wrapper to stop jack:

#!/bin/bash
echo "attempting to kill jackd"
PID=`ps ax | grep jack | grep -vE '(grep|arts)' | awk '{print $1}'`
if [ -n "$PID" ]; then
echo "found single process" $PID
    kill -3 $PID
else
echo "being ghetto and using killall"
    killall -3 jackd
fi 

!theirs probably a much better way to do this.
