Radium only has a Jack backend. If jack stops working on MacOS I will
certainly look into it, but I haven't noticed jack not working on any
version
of MacOS (including high sierra), and I haven't heard any user compaining
about Jack not working on OSX before now.

Stefan, can you try to install Jack included with Radium instead of using
brew?
