Are there any cocoa and or carbon routines for high level multimedia manipulation, like the ability to record and playback audio files. For example, in windows there is a "Media Control Interface" (MCI) which allows the programmer access to these features via simple string commands like

mciSendString("OPEN NEW TYPE WAVEAUDIO ALIAS MySound", NULL, 0, Handle);

What is the best way to access sound recording and playback features in OS X?

the quicktime API seems the best way 4 audio and/or video.
For audio, you can directly call HAL's prototypes in your carbon programs.
 
HAL means Hardware Abstraction Layer. It's the lowest level of the audio system.

see the exemples in the /Developer/Examples/CoreAudio folder for info
