Someone with access to the code would need to port it. As I said in a post above, LiveSplit is too unstable for Wine and completely unusable.
Whoops, misread, my bad

I'm looking for new options on streaming. I've been using the same setup for several years and I'm running into minor issues and was wondering if you guys had any input.
Mac specs: late 2012 imac, OSX 10.9.2, 3.4 quad processor and 16GB ram with 2 GB dedicated graphics ram.
Video:
I'm still using FMLE, but I think I'm going to stick with it since I know how it works until OBS is released. as for the video source, I'm using camtwist (2.5 since 3.0 doesn't work with FMLE). While camtwist usually works well, for some reason I need to have the preview window open, otherwise the framerate drops to pretty much 0. Also, a new thing I experienced last night, is that if I try to stream Diablo 3, my fps goes down to 10-13 and even after resetting my computer, it still only ran around 20. This was the case whether I had camtwist capturing at 30 or 60 fps, and I stream at 30 (although I wouldn't mind streaming at 60, but FMLE keeps giving me errors). any ideas why this might be? also, is there another program that could be better then camtwist? I dont mind spending a few bucks either.
Audio:
I'm using soundflower with 2 copies of Line In to route the audio (predictably the routing changes slightly whether I'm streaming console games or off the Mac, like steam). What I would like to do is find a program that I can have it listen to applications individually, and route them to single port and be able, through this program, to alter the applications volume. The reason is because I need to turn my game audio all the way down (borderlands 2 I have audio set down to 1) and my elgato capture I have to set to at least -20db. otherwise the game audio will drown out my voice and those on a skype call. again, I dont mind spending a few bucks on this.

I use Wirecast for streaming, you don't need anything else if you use that and it works pretty good. Of course it's not worth the money, but you know. 
Soundflower is best choice for sound and FMLE is for video, for streaming there is QuickTime Broadcaster directly by Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL764 Basic, but working. Camtwist, FMLE and Soundflower for video and audio.

No, it can't stream by itself.
You can get Wirecast here.

If you check the OP there is a list of several options available. The current best solution would be CamTwist + CocoaSplit for video, and Audio Hijack for sound. It gives you the most flexibility and control, as well as being the most up-to-date and supporting important features like x264, CBR, and others. The OBS port sounds promising as well, but we'll have to see how it turns out.
Wirecast and FMLE are both severely outdated and should not be used, not to mention Wirecast is prohibitively expensive. Out of the software I recommend the only one you need to pay for is Audio Hijack. Its worth is far beyond its price.

HELLO!
I just can't justify spending that much just on one bit of software, heh. Though I'm probably going to end up spending $1200 on a new stream rig, that will actually able to be used for things other than streaming.
The fact is, every free option is terrible, but Wirecast would have to be really good, and really fast, and really flexible to be worth that much money, and I'm just skeptical.

Sorry to bump this thread, but I'm curious if anyone has used the Avercapture M (listed as a compatible device in the first post) to stream from a Mac. The included software is intended for recording, and I'm not sure if the device will appear as a source in Camtwist or Videoglide. It really makes me wish AmarecTV were available for the Mac.
Any input would be appreciated. Cheers.

Unfortunately no one with that device has posted so we can't give you any certain answers. If it's not recognized as a webcam in CamTwist or a video source in CocoaSplit then you have to capture the preview window using software that's compatible with the device. Check the settings to see if you can change the resolution and fps to your liking. Otherwise I can only suggest acquiring a more robust device.
Great news; the OBS rewrite and port is almost done. A super early build was made available here: https://github.com/jp9000/obs-studio/releases
There's a list of what's currently not implemented. I recommend you only try it if you're very well-versed in streaming and want to test it out. Right now it can't be used as a replacement to CamTwist + CocoaSplit, but once they get the main features in it should be a great alternative.

So, an update about the Avercapture M - I wrote the manufacturer and confirmed the device doesn't appear as a webcam and will only work with the included capture software. The preview window is not full size/adequate for streaming, so I would probably change the description to "records, does not stream".
When I ordered the Avercapture M (C039m) from Amazon, I received the DVD EZMaker 7 (C039) instead.
It doesn't work with the Mac software (as I expected), but works well enough with Amarectv.

Quick question for everyone.
What do you guys use to record your camtwist output?
I'm on OSX 10.9.3 which takes away my ability to use Quicktime Player due to the "Sandboxing" rules.
I also wanted to use Quicktime Player 7 Pro but the options are so limited from 640x480 being the best option. (Yes, there's RAW but that's a pain)
I tried to use Quicktime Broadcaster but the recordings have a crap frame rate.
(I was just messing around but you can tell it's like missing frames..pwese don't judge my crappy arcade platforming)
Any suggestions?
