You may also be able to make use of Soundflower, by Cycling '74.
Install it and the companion app Soundflowerbed (menu bar control).

Your best bet is going to be to record the whole audio stream the analyze it after the fact. This is the most time consuming but easiest way to do it. You'll need to record straight from stereo mix due to the fact speakers and environmental sources will color your audio which will show up in spectral (and other) analysis.
