Is there a way to determine if they use CoreAudio? It's an RME interface, and they have drivers for OSX.

Ready for OS X El Capitan

12/2015 Compatibility to Mac OS X 10.11

OS X ready

Due to the big number of incoming questions about compatibility of RME audio interfaces to Apple’s latest Mac OS X 10.11, also known as El Capitan, RME would like to point out that RME drivers work without known issues under 10.11 as well as 10.11.1. Also note that RME did not have to change or modify drivers for El Capitan, which is a statement in itself on RME’s code quality and driver design.

RME FireWire interfaces are also fully supported and continue to work with 10.11 and upcoming OS versions. There has been some confusion generated by Apple no longer supporting their own FireWire Core Audio driver, causing some well-known audio interfaces which relied on this driver to be no longer supported from 10.11. on. RME is not affected by Apple’s decision as RME develops their own drivers for all devices, and FireWire as such is and will stay supported from the operating system in the foreseeable future.

That doesn't necessarily mean you can't do what you want though. I would expect RME especially to allow for multiple sources to control the interface, their panel is very good with routing and allowing to save and switch snapshots of settings.

If you have the interface and computer to hand it's a very easy thing for you to test yourself. Just open two different audio playing apps, say music in iTunes and a film in VLC and set them both to use the interface but different output channels and then listen or see if an error occurs
