Core Audio is a low-level API that handles sound in Apple's Mac OS X and iOS operating systems, and it uses the cross-platform OpenAL library.
Its primary purpose is to deliver the best high-quality audio experience to Macintosh users, and its secondary purpose is to let developers establish their own audio and MIDI protocols in their applications.
