PROS: Allows different applications to access soundcard at the same time. Supports 2 and 64 channel audio. Fairly simple to use once configured. Wide range of applications. Very low latency and CPU usage. Quick and elegant — works directly with Mac audio architecture.
CONS: Installation is not straightforward. Sound may have interference at first. Fist-time configuration may be tricky. Captures all sounds coming out of a Mac's speakers whether you want it to or not. You cannot hear audio when it is channeled through Soundflower. Users will need to find useful tutorials and articles themselves online.
