I woundn't even attempt ProTools Free in Classic, audio applications, 
because they usually need to interface with hardware are best when 
run native (i.e. boot into 9.)  Digidesign has said that a OS X 
version of ProTools 6 Free should be available soon.  For now since 
you only need stereo you could use Sparke ME from tcworks.de.
