Yes, the default output format is -s -W, but it can easily be made
AIFF on OS X. IRCAM is of course still available, just not the default
as it is not as widely used and supported as WAV or AIFF.

Those were already there in 4.23, although probably not noticed.

It is possible that a newer version of the Python library is needed.

Those utilities are currently not built, but can be restored if there
is demand for them. Although, as far as I know, pv_export and pv_import
are for the old PVOC format which is no longer supported, so they probably
need to be reworked for PVOC-EX.

Is the _jcsound JNI library and its dependencies found and loaded by Java ?
It is also possible that the installation includes an empty csnd.jar file
(due to problems with handling dependencies, scons may need to be run twice
to build this file correctly). What is the size of csnd.jar and CSDPlayer.jar ?
