The ports are probably for control info like OSC or audicle or something, I imagine.

I think the main usage is for the otf commands, which do need to run between instances of your shell (most likely Bash), and use ports at localhost for that

Tried the --port7777, no go on OSX.

I picked that at random. You could try a few others or check your firewall settings.

They both have different pids (and I even tried renaming the executable just for the heck of it in one try).

I don't think two things can have the same pid at all, actually, but the renaming was a good thing to test.

Something's going on in CoreAudio...

May well be, yes, but I suspect it's significant that I got the same error with the same symptoms on Linux. Quite weird.

Are people using this to make the most of multi-core CPU's?

Yours,

Kas.
