Digidesign Core Audio Drivers for Mac OS X:

Digidesign Core Audio Driver (Mac OS X)
The Digidesign Core Audio driver allows your third-party applications supporting the Apple Core Audio standard — such as Propellerhead Software’s Reason and Ableton Live — to utilize your Pro Tools system for audio input and output. Depending on the hardware and application, you can record and playback multiple channels of 16- or 24-bit audio up to 96 kHz (see the documentation included with the driver for a complete list of tested applications).

This initial version of the Core Audio driver requires some embedded Pro Tools components. As such, it is a requirement that Pro Tools 6.0.1 must be installed for correct Core Audio driver operation.

If you wish to use Core Audio drivers without a Pro Tools install, Digidesign will also be providing a downloadable, stand-alone Core Audio installer on this same page in the coming weeks. Thanks for your patience.

For more information on installation, usage, compatibility and limitations, please review the Usage Guide and Read Me files provided with the Core Audio driver.

Jag tror inte man kan bli av med hårdvaran, men är inte säker. Vad jag vet är att CoreAudio-drivrutiner kommer att komma som stand-alone, vilket innebär att de inte behöver PT6 för att fungera, vilket idag är fallet. När de kommer kan man alltså använda Digi-hårdvara utan att behöva ha PT6 installerat ens.
