The WaveInput plugin comprises of a few files which basically enables a
captured WAV stream to be played through SC.

A port will consist of finding the right command line application which
can captures and converts the speaker Audio into a WAV stream. This is
specific to each OS and the supporting files will need to be customised
for the command line options depends on the application and OS.

When I put together the Linux version, I checked to see if the Linux
Audio (either OSS or ALSA) was available on OSX. They are not available
on OSX and so the Linux applications/files cannot be used or ported to
OSX.

I don't have a Mac and so the following is a paper exercise. 

For OSX there are audio capture apps such Nicecast and HiJack but I
think they don't provide the WAV stream suitable for input direct into
SC and also controllable from a command line. 

After a brief search, the application that looks most promising is
Soundflower ( http://www.cycling74.com/products/soundflower ).  As it
is open source it is likely it could be modified to have a command line
interface and output to a file/pipe. It is possible (although I think
unlikely) that Soundflower (& Soundflowerbed) may work now but I cannot
check.

So unless there is suitable capture utility already available, a
developer with an OSX system is needed to implement the required Audio
capture utility for a Waveinput for OSX.
