A command-line utility to switch the audio source on Mac OS X.

This utility for Mac OS X switches the audio source and/or adjusts volume of input/output devices.

You specify the name of the audio source, such as Built-in Digital Output, and the utility switches the source immediately without any GUI interaction.

This is a command-line utility only and has no graphical user interface. Works with Mac OS 10.7 Lion and 10.8 Mountain Lion.

AudioSwitch requires cmake to build.
