Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Novocaine still an abstraction layer that interfaces with Core Audio (I haven't had a moment to look at the sources yet)? I understand that it's simpler to deal with, but how is it more "high-performant" than working with Core Audio directly?
I think he means "painless" in comparison with working directly with audio units, and "high-performance" in comparison with the higher-level abstractions provided by Apple.
Having tried my hand at core audio code a few times, this is an amazingly simple API. I've got some app ideas I'd like to use this in.
