There is nothing in OSX stopping anything of the sort.  C code is C code 
and so on.   It's just that Sounddiver is such a crappily written
application no one probably could be bothered to recode it.

There are many things in UNIX which allow one app to talk to another,
there are also lots of glue apps like Perl, shell scripts, TCL and so on.
I do not think there is any such limitation.   Microsoft makes Excel
talk to Word and Powerpoint, for example (no matter what you think of MS).

I put the reason as to why the OSX Autolink was never done was because 
plainly the Logic guys didn't care about Sounddiver and just couldn't 
be bothered.  All it would take is an XML DTD, a parser and a script 
launcher to read in/out the variables - in a very general sense.

If the source code was made Open Source, someone would've found a way,
by now - there is always a way!

The truth is, SD is a dead obsolete product that is practically 
abandonware, but is on life support for whatever convoluted reason
the developers give this week - Just like Unitor Control, which 
we really can't live without if you own a Unitor or AMT-8!
