There is also AVAudioEngine added in Yosemite. It's a higher level Objective-C API around Core Audio. The docs still kind of don't tell you much and at times the API makes more sense if you know a little about Core Audio but the friction is a lot less C level.
The Amazing Audio Engine is a fairly mature open source framework that provides similarly high level abstraction with decent docs. Don't sell any of it short. Worthy additions to a skill set. The truth is there's a lot you do need to know to do audio. Just like video or databases or networking or almost anything. But somebody might have already written a simpler convenience wrapper. Unfortunately commercial games and AV apps usually don't open source a lot.
