I believe there is a memory leak in Core Audio as well if there is anyone that can confirm this it would be helpful. It is a tricky mess working with these com interfaces and holding reference to them. It looks like it is with the thread loop I have running to detect audio output I have to check it.

I am also going to check into the error you are having nYce and I wil get that cleaned up as well.

Thank you very much for looking into it!

Description of problem: I just installed and added your plugin, after that clicked Add Macro and (on first try it crashed but on second:) didn't respond for a few seconds but then wrote error below. Plugin didn't show in Macro window.

Error (if any):
[ code ]

I am aware of the problem with the decoding of the device names. It has to do with the language that is set in Windows. There are several issues I am working on solving that error being one of them.

As far as the plugin not showing up in the Macro window, that is normal behavior. If you click on the System plugin and then on the Audio folder you will see the actions added there. The Core Audio plugin is an extension of the System plugin specifically the audio handling portion of it.

Any Update on this?

I am trying to solve a memory leak in the plugin. I am not sure why there is one I have been tinkering about with it trying to locate where the problem is.

If you need any help, or want me to run any tests, feel free to ask!
