Thanks for your interest and good answers. Did som extensive research, and I found that you can in fact aggregate audio devices on a Mac. I haven't tested it yet and they claim it is unstable, but I will try tonight and give you guys a report on my findings.

Hope this works, since it would save me some cash.

It actually works perfectly! I am really happy with my setup now.... :)

Headphones plugged into the macbook and amp plugged into the behringer uca222. Just follow the procedure described in the link I posted earlier, and voila! The setup might be a little different on newer versions of OSX(it was for me), but it is essentially the same. Then just set audio to dual stereo on Cross DJ LE, fiddle with the output settings and it works!

And how about the latency?

I haven't had problems with latency, but I'm careful not to run other applications and a minimum of services when mixing.

I am truly happy this worked out the way it did, or else I'd have to wait several days to get my mix on! Yeah!

Eeeh? Standard? Didn't adjust it... 256 or 512 I think? How would a smaller/larger buffersize affect playback?

And remember, the unix system which osx is based on, is better at this kind of resource handling than Windows ;-) But I'm not gonna make this a discussion about os'es, they are both good!
