Is piping sound with Sound Flower to Arena broken under High Sierra??

Is piping sound with Sound Flower to Arena broken under OS X 10.13.2 High Sierra??

I am used to use Soundflower to pipe sound from iTunes to Arena 6.
( https://github.com/mattingalls/Soundflower/releases/ )

That worked really good until I upgraded OS X to High Sierra.

Now Soundflower is still visible as an audio source in Arena but no sound gets through.
I was able to reproduce this on another (OS X 10.13.2) Mac too.

Can anyone confirm this problem?

Loopback ( https://rogueamoeba.com/loopback/ ) still works under Arena but is a very expensive alternative to Soundflower.

Does Soundflower work to other applications?

edit: got around to install SoundFlower on my high sierra machine and it works fine for me with Resolume 6.0.4
these are my settings in preferences:

same issue. Soundflower worked before the latest update, I'm on el Capitan. It's not just you!

Thanks for your reply. ;)
I see the same settings under Arena 6 as you do.
SoundFlower does show up in Arena 5 too but does not seem to pass the audio through.
I created a Multi-Output device in the Audio Midi Setup application with both SoundFlower and the Build In output active just to check if iTunes can be heard.

I tried another user (with admin rights) on the same machine to see if any prefs where corrupt.
I tested both Arena 5 & 6
I removed and reinstalled the SoundFlower kernel extension.
I checked the gain settings.

What other application do you recommend to check SF with?
