Hi Jez
The answer is "Yes, but why bother?"
First the YES part: Provided you import the appropriate
com.apple.audio classes, all of Core Audio is available
to you.
Now the "Why Bother?" part: The beauty of Java is that
it is completely portable, so any Pure Java programs that
you write will work on Mac OS X, Windows, Linux and
other Unix boxes. However, using Core Audio throws
away this huge advantage. I know from experience that
the standard pure Java classes work pretty well on Macs.
I suggest you think very carefully before choosing Core
Audio over standard Java.
Now, a rider: There used to be a problem with Mac
OS X Midi I/O in that the pure Java midi i/o classes weren't
fully supported. However, this is now over come by installing
the public domain Plum Stone plug in (courtesy of yours
truly) which you can download from my web site at
www.cems.uwe.ac.uk/~lrlang
Also on that web site you'll find my Bezier synth which
I implemented in Pure Java. Despite being compiled
on an Apple, the compiled code also runs unchanged
on Windows (and probably Linux if I had a Linux box
to try it out on), That's the benefit of Java portability.
Cheers
Bob

Is it possible to use the CoreAudio framework with Java?
I notice that the example code and discussions on this list all use
C/C++.
