Could you build this?
No Creating a virtual audio device and low-latency audio router/limiter on macOS requires deep expertise in CoreAudio, AudioServerPlugIns, or DriverKit kernel extensions.
What it would actually take: Building Patch requires low-level C/C++ or Swift systems programming interfacing with macOS CoreAudio HAL and developing a CoreAudio Userland Driver (AudioServerPlugIn). It requires real-time digital signal processing (DSP) for mixing streams without latency and implementing a lookahead brickwall limiter. Testing and distribution also require Apple developer notarization with restricted driver entitlements.
