Jack OS X
Jack (the Jack Audio Connection Kit) is a low-latency audio server, written originally for the GNU/Linux operating system, and now with Mac OS X support. It can connect any number of different applications to a single hardware audio device; it also allows applications to send and receive audio to and from each other.
Jack is different from other audio server efforts in that it has been designed from the ground up to be suitable for professional audio work. This means that it focuses on two key areas: synchronous execution of all clients, and low latency operation.

Direct link doesn't seem to be working... here's a link to the Sourceforge project's download page: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=100023
This is truly an awesome technology we've inherited from the Linux community. Yet somehow it never seems to be on the Mac world's radar. This does everything Audio Hijack Pro can do. Using this free software you can, for example, route audio from iTunes directly to Audacity for recording network streams. If you use recording software that supports Audio Units but not VSTs (or vice-versa) you can use Jack to send audio to an app that supports VSTs and return it back, all without introducing heavy latency. It's a really handy tool.
