Lion 10.7.3
Tried: sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/Soundflower.kext
and: sudo chmod 775 /System/Library/Extensions/Soundflower.kext

still get
/System/Library/Extensions/Soundflower.kext failed to load - (libkern/kext) 
authentication failure (file ownership/permissions); check the system/kernel 
logs for errors or try kextutil(8).

The suggestion in #6 
(http://code.google.com/p/soundflower/issues/detail?id=116#c6) above worked for 
me.

I'm not a coder so I don't know what to do to use #6.  Can you help with a step 
by step?

Step by step instructions:
1. Install Soundflower with the dmg.
2. Open a terminal and run the commands in comment 6.  Very explicitly, this 
means: run /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app, then enter each command in 
comment 6 in sequence.  You will need to be an admin user (the default) for it 
to work.
