- start a file playing using the sfplay~ object

- switch from 'iMic USB audio system' to 'Internal speakers'

- the sound remains routed to the USB iMic

am I correct in assuming that the audio prefs won't switch the 

outputs when Max/MSP is routed to a particular output?

e.g., Max/MSP makes calls to CoreAudio to switch outputs but doesn't 

sorry if this has been discussed already -- I searched my maxmsp list

- launch Max/MSP
- start a file playing using the sfplay~ object
- open audio prefs

outputs when Max/MSP is routed to a particular output?
e.g., Max/MSP makes calls to CoreAudio to switch outputs but doesn't  
pick up calls from CoreAudio?

it locally, or wait till you restart the program. Either switch it

Yes, and its what everybody needs/wants. You'd always prefer to switch 
it locally, or wait till you restart the program. Either switch it
