Core Audio?
Just noticed all my VSTi's are running Core Audio on my Mac, never looked before.

Re: Core Audio?
ASIO is a Windows platform driver designed by Steinberg and employed almost universally for high-quality audio interfaces on Windows PCs.
It plays no role in a Mac.
Core Audio is the audio driver system in Macs... as you've discovered.

Re: Core Audio?
As Hugh says, that’s normal, no cause for concern!
Re: Core Audio?
Out of the three of them -- ASIO on Windows, ALSA on Linux and Core Audio on Mac Core Audio has the best design for audio. It uses a delay locked loop which adds a small amount of latency (8 -32 samples) but is more stable meaning less xruns (pops and clicks).
Paul Davis, the developer behind Ardour, JACK and the Linux RME drivers explains it here :

It ain't what you don't know. It's what you know that ain't so.

Re: Core Audio?
As far as I know the low level design of ASIO, ALSA and Core Audio is still the same. It definitely is for ALSA.
Something that has changed is the rise of the monolithic DAW. Everything is a plug-in these days, run within one app -- Cubase, Ableton, Reaper ... The idea of a standalone app has mostly disappeared. Some of the advantages Paul Davis describes are for running multiple apps at the same time.
Things have moved on but the low level design remains the same.
