> And in any case, as much as I normally embrace FOSS, Rogue Amoeba makes high quality software that's worth paying for, so I'm not champing at the bit to replace them.

I tried really hard to get my desired audio setup to work with stock Mac OS features, but it was just... not good.

I have two Apple Monitors flanking both sides of a larger display with terrible speakers. I wanted to split left/right between the two Apple monitors. With Audio Midi Setup, I got it to work, but then I couldn't adjust the volume with the soft keys.

I installed Loopback and Soundsource. Everything just worked, and it was very easy to configure. The price was a little high, but I'm not really the target customer. Was worth it to not have to put bulky speakers on my desk.
