| The one thing that I would like to see added to this would be the
| implementation of IO streams for audio and video. I'd love to
| find a piece of software that could be selected as the sole
| output for either a system's audio or a specific application,
| keep a buffer of the audio stream for processing, create an AV
| output, and then allow that to either be captured or streamed to
| something like OBS or VLC. Realistically, I can see latency being
| a bit of an issue of course. Audio fidelity may also take a hit
| if you exceed the buffer's capacity, but trying to implement a
| direct passthrough for the audio may desync the it from the
| visualizer.
|
| Maybe it's just a pipe dream, but has anyone created/worked with
| a project like that before? I'd be interested in seeing what's
| out there.

| application does in fact seem unlikely.
|
| Too bad, too, since this does indeed look like a cool app.

| The latest version seems broken. It's not available on Homebrew

| Could be a useful tool to generate snippets for a larger project.
