Could you build this?
Partial Creating audio/video effects is straightforward, but packaging and running virtual audio/camera drivers on modern macOS (CoreMediaIO DAL plugins / Camera Extensions and CoreAudio Server Plugins) requires low-level system driver permissions and specialized Apple API expertise.
What it would actually take: A full version requires a native macOS app (Swift/Objective-C) paired with a CoreMediaIO Camera Extension and CoreAudio HAL driver or virtual audio device. Video frame manipulation can use Metal/CoreImage pipelines, but passing the notarization, system security entitlements, and zero-latency audio buffer processing requires specialized macOS systems engineering.
