I certainly wouldn't mind a header with EFX presets. Shouldn't be difficult to 
make helper functions that can load the EFXEAXREVERBPROPERTIES and 
EFXLOWPASSFILTER structures into effect and filter objects.

In general, OSX should work. You'll need to have PortAudio installed for it to 
use, though, or else you won't get any playback/capture devices (and depending 
on how the app deals with that, can crash). Someone was working an on OSX 
CoreAudio backend, but I'm not sure when that will be ready.
