SoundSource: Menubar Source Selector

Rogue Amoeba just announced the release of version 1.2 of their SoundSource menubar utility. They say that it "has been recoded from the ground up for better performance, and now also features an option to open the Audio MIDI Setup application." SoundSource sits in your menubar and allows you to easily change "your audio input and output sources with a single click" instead of going through the Sound Preference Pane in your System Preferences. If you have to switch sources on a regular basis (e.g. between different microphones, line-in sources, etc. while audio editing or podcasting) then this can be a really handy tool. Frankly the screenshot (right) is not terribly exciting on my machine since I don't have multiple sources to choose from, but nonetheless, you get the idea.

SoundSource a free download from Rogue Amoeba's Freebies Page.

You can use Airport speakers as outputs using Airfoil, from the same company: http://rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/mac/

If this added AirPort-speakers as outputs, I would've paid for it.

@vectorelement: SoundSource has been around since 2004. This is just an update. And Mat notes all that's new above, which is not much for those of us who are currently running version 1.1 successfully. Still, can't complain about useful and free software!

If only this were around earlier! This would be great for my desktop which is connected to external speakers. I usually stay up late, so I can't play music at the volume I want. This also has great application with WoW and headsets. I'll check this out sometime.

@5: Run the installer package again, and choose "Uninstall"

Yeah, just a quick question: how the hell do you uninstall software from this company?
