Is there a way to capture audio directly from the outputs of my sound card with MaxMSP?

No, unfortunately adoutput only captures signal coming from MaxMSP. What I want to be able to do is capture any and all audio being sent to any and all output channels on my soundcard.

Yes, its called "cable" and is not software, best used in combination 

with a tool called mixer (also not software... ;-)

If you want to capture only what MSP is putting out, you can use adoutput~.

Elsewise try Jack, which can route and mix any soundsources together and 

feed it into Max. It works well on OS X, and I know there is a Windows 

version in developement at least in beta state...

Yeah, but Patching my outputs to an input is too messy, plus it adds unnecessary noise and ADC/DAC converions, and I do know what a mixer is. I'm trying to poll my overall output amps.

I've been using JackOSX, but it's not great about finding certain apps that may start and close while Jack's started (Audacity,Firefox,etc). Any news on when a better port of the linux qjackctl is going to be out? now that's a tool I could use... and then you're not really polling the output to your soundcard device, so determining the overall amps going out just exponentially more messy.

i've managed to get itunes to play through soundflower driver (set via system prefs/sound) and back into msp (set DSP status / input to receive from soundflower).

There are only two ways to get this, one is Apple is providing a 

seperate driver which grabs the audio form the sound card, which is 

hardware dependent and too messy to be something to hope for (there is 

no practical use for the average user for this feature)

The second is to script/program Jack or Soundflower in a way, that it 

provides the output automatically on a seperate bus. That's much more 

likely to be possible. Jack as well as Soundflower are open source, 

maybe somebody who needs it desperately will dive into the code...
