Best high quality screen recorder with audio for Snow Leopard?
For Snow Leopard you should have a look at Soundflower. It's the OG tool for recording desktop audio output, and should still work on Snow Leopard (if the version linked doesn't work then you can try building the version from 2008 in the command line, it doesn't seem to be too complicated).

osci-render v1.13.0 demonstration - my open-source oscilloscope music software
If there's a software oscilloscope that listens to the system audio, (https://github.com/jameshball/sosci is an in-dev version I've made that has very low latency and 'works' but looks terrible) then you can definitely use this with osci-render, but that's really the only option.
What are some alternatives?
