With Linux it's probably possible with ALSA, but if it were to ever happen and I had to guess, it may not happen anytime soon.

I believe I can build a Mac DSP solution that any app can play through. I did hit a hard road block....the control software and driver for my MOTU 16A is not yet released for Big Sur. In the mean time, I'll work to reconstruct my JRiver Windows DSP in the Mac Version. It looks like JRiver supports VSTs in the Mac version, not AU (Audio Unit) plugins.

Just installed JRiver on my Mac mini M1 (16GB RAM) with Rosetta 2.
JRiver is working fine, however I notice that the memory is not released.

Windows 10 Memory:
JRiver started : 80 MB
JRiver playing Audio PCM file : up to 300 MB
Music stop : back to 80 MB
Exit JRiver : Process stop

Mac mini M1Memory:
JRiver started : 380 MB
JRiver playing Audio PCM file : 750 MB
Music stop : still more than 600 MB
Exit JRiver : still more than 600 MB
I have to kill the process manually.

This is my first Apple product, it would be interesting to compare with a Mac with Intel processor.

JimH:
Memory usage may be high in the beginning.  MC is building thumbnails, analyzing audio, etc.  It should drop after a while.

bob:
Also you could try the build I just posted which will run natively.

Desja55:
Just tried the new BETA load.

Mac mini M1 Memory:
JRiver started : 350 MB
JRiver playing Audio PCM file : 480 MB
Music stop : back to 350 MB
Exit JRiver (CMD Q): process is still there using 350 MB.
I have to kill the process manually.

The problem is not that it takes more memory than the Windows 10 version, it is that the memory is not release when JRiver is closed.
Just to be clear, I am not complaining, I give you information to help the development.
Best regards,
