Ye olde black screen. MacOS with Pulse 12

[sbussetti]

I am quite certain Pulse is working, in that I am running loopback sound from a virtual audio device (created by loopback) and dumping it into a sink for the default output device via pulse. I have audio as a result.

However, no matter what kind of gyrations I go through with vis, I only get a blank output. Is there any kind of debug log or verbosity I can enable to get a better idea of what is going on?

Well, I sort of solved my own problem by reading through the source. Seems like the new cmake process explicitly turns off pulse support for "APPLE" platforms? Why is that? I just built using the old make process and I have vis working happily again. (Had to do a reinstall, been using vis for a long time and love it so much)

I had no idea pulseaudio worked on mac os. I'll re-enable it when I have some time to test, if you're sure it will work, feel free to submit a PR as well and I'll happily merge it. If there are no issues with pulse on mac, that would be amazing, the mac os audio framework is a giant PITA.

It takes a little doing but it absolutely works. I’ll try out adjusting the cmake script to allow it and see how it flies.
