Kyle,
That seems to be only for 10.8 or later whereas 10.7/Lion exhibits the same behaviour, though 10.7's CoreAudio.framework was updated Sept 2012 so may contain the relevant changes.
Also the fact that built-in, HDMI and Bluetooth devices continue to behave as before (one user client per app) but USB devices don't suggests all is not as clear-cut as it might appear.
Tim.
