    Hi Zoltan,
      
      Thanks for the hint. I tried it and I didn't get any error, but I
      also don't get any speaker sounds. How do I troubleshoot. I've got
      the monitor open and I don't see any errors. Is coreaudio
      something native to my mac, or something I need to
      install/configure and is audio0 the usual default device? Sorry if
      this sounds newbieish.
      
      Thanks,
      
      Will
