Synthizer, the default audio backend, is currently not available for Mac, and as long as that stays up-to-date, we'll have to find an alternative for that.
I'd probably go with my own Bass4Py solution, but that one isn't Mac-ready yet either, so we'll have to find an alternative here.
Just like with the output backend, i'd like this to be available in 1.0, but I don't have time and money to work with a Mac right now, so i'll see if someone can help with that later.

take a look at playsound or check out the nssound library and see how you can implement the API.

I've used playsound for my own project, Constellation, though I'm looking to move away from it because sounddevice will be a more efficient solution for me

both don't seem to have enough features to be competitors for this project though, since i'll at least need panning and pitch bend for the 3D positioning to work. But thanks, i'll consider it as soon as the topic comes up.

@Timtam, Synthizer now has Mac support.

that's good to know, thanks. unless Synthizer gets build for more than just Python 3.10, its not going to happen very soon. I'm not willing to write a lib which is only compatible to one Python version all the time for some weird reason. And building Synthizer yourself isn't a solution that's portable enough for my taste.
I also don't have access to a Mac development workflow that is productive enough for my needs right now, but i'll keep track of Synthizer and make sure to add Mac support as soon as I feel like it.
