Best practices with soundflowerbed or alternative ?

After tests related to https://cycling74.com/forums/topic/soundflower-glitches , I'm digging other solutions.
JACK doesn't work here with 10.9 and Max 6.1.6 (as soon as I choose it as audio input and start the dsp in Max, Max crashes)

But in the meantime, I'd like to check my audio parameters and try to optimize them.

I started to put the buffer size at 512 samples in both Live, Soundflower and Max but it doesn't seem to work well.

any best practices with soundflower ?
