* A itunes plugins make crash on exit !
* A standalone app no works with the must common audio source : the ouput.

I'm too sad.. it's too expensive for an half of full capacities.

We are working on this and hope to be able to add 64-bit screen saver module support in a coming update.

This is not an issue with WhiteCap. Apple restricts access to the built-in soundcard or the output of other applications to third-party applications like ours on the OS X operating system. This has been in place on Mac OSes since the beginning and is typically believed to be for Digital Rights Management (DRM) purposes. This means that, by default, our V-Bar and Standalone application cannot respond to your built-in audio.

However, if you are so inclined, there is a free, open source application you may download called "Soundflower" which allows applications to pass audio to other applications on the OS X platform.

With Soundflower installed and configured correctly, you should be able to use the WhiteCap V-Bar and Standalone application to respond to your audio. Though, please note that SoundSpectrum is not associated or affiliated with Soundflower or its developers, so we cannot provide you with any support on downloading, installing, or using this application nor can we guarantee successful operation. However, we have tested this application and it appears to work as advertised on Mac OS X machines.
