Yep, it can run multiple concurrently.  Presently, as it doesn't support pan (neither does python version now, sox pulled support have to build it by splitting channels and adjusting volume), so that wouldn't work yet, but getting pan and other effects like echo back is on my todo list.

Is that all I need to support to make such a feature portable to MacOS, pan + already existing concurrency? 

Additionally, at the end of the original email, what is the proper support of SplitCaps do exactly, does it treat it as two words each with a cap or one word with a cap in the middle called out? CamelCase or Camel Case?  I am adding the pitch raise Which you get very used to on MacOS
