UPDATE!
4-18-2014

I have changed the status of this for Mac to PlayOnMac TESTING. I do not have a mac to test on, and someone would need to try WineASIO, freshly compiled, using Vanilla Wine SYSTEM install (not through POL), and make sure that, at its basic levels, it works through Wine, Jack, and will be recognized. 

If someone who has a Mac wants to test it in Vanilla Wine, the way it was meant to be ran, then we will know for sure that it works on OSX, and can then figure out why it is not working with the script. At that time we can update the script. Or if someone just flat out knows why it doesnt work, we can figure it out. It was only tested on Linux, so I do not know what to expect with OSX. 

Thanks,

So, I wrote a small script that downloads, installs, and registers WineASIO into a virtual drive. You can install it from the Install Components tab in the Configure window. 

NOTE**

There are a few pre-requisites that are NEEDED for this to work. The script will test for them, and if they are not there, the script will fail, informing you why it failed and what is missing. 

The things you need:

32-bit Virtual Drive for whatever program you are wanting to use wineasio with.
--64-bit is NOT supported. 

User that runs the program NEEDS to be in the group named 'audio'.
--if you arent, add yourself to the 'audio' group, and logout/login to your system

jack and qjackctl NEED to be installed. If EITHER ONE are missing, install fails


That is it. No other things needed. If you are curious on how to use WineASIO, hit the googles.. lol. Its out of scope here, but its now available.

I will also be adding an option to install WineASIO into scripts for Reason, Ableton, and the other music software, so that on initial install, you will be given a choice. Ill add them when I get the chance.

Enjoy!

Since it seems you're on Mac google for howtos on adding an user to an unix group on MacOS.

The script later relying on the installation of jack daemon though, so it's Linux specific; It won't work even if you add your user to the audio group.

This should work:


gpasswd -a username audio

or

useradd -G audio username


Obviously, replace the word 'username' with you actual username.

Remember Linux is also case-sensitive.

You may need to use sudo or su to root in order to do this, then after you add yourself to the audio group, you need to log in, and log out. A quick Google search yielded the commands instantly in the first few results.

I dont know. It was never meant to run on Mac. I dont have a mac to test on. That really does not tell me much. It doesnt matter anyway, as it will not have any effect unless you have jack installed.

I checked, and jack works on OSX. You can get it here:

http://jackaudio.org/download

How EXACTLY are you trying to install WineASIO? It was compiled on Linux, so I have NO clue if that compiled version works on OSX.

Hello there,

Apologies if this thread is completely necro however, I cannot get this script (install component wineasio) working in PlayOnMac 4.4.3 due to a bad link for the source file, giving this message:

Error in POL_Download
Unable to download http://repo.dusette.net/FOSS/PlayOnLinux/Resources/wineasio.dll.so after 5 attempts.

I have found another version of the wineasio.dll here. https://github.com/steveschow/osxwineasio/releases/tag/v0.9.2 Is there any workaround to manually install this library within POM? I am trying to use the now abandonware E-MU Emulator X3 software with low latency audio on my mbp pro i7 2.9 ghz running Monterey 12.6.1?
 

Thanks 

Ziggy
