soundflower is all about interapplication audio routing
this is an application for OSX developed by cycling 74 which was a beloved company that was renowned for its contributions to the audio world on the classic macos from the 90s. "C74 began producing the MSP extension to Opcode Systems's 1990 program "Max" in the mid 1990s, and in 1998 started distributing the products together." i believe they are still operational to this day! visit the at https://cycling74.com/ and learn more about them on wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycling_%2774 i beleive they were purchased by ableton in 2017!
