jogamp.openal.ALProcAddressTable.isFunctionAvailable() would probably return false because you try to use a method that is not supported by your driver. Maybe you can work around this problem by forcing the use of OpenALSoft. Xerxes is much more comfortable than me with JOAL, maybe he has an idea.

Yes OpenAL Soft 1.14 now include a CoreAudio backend for Mac OSX, supporting both playback and capture. http://kcat.strangesoft.net/openal.html
I believe that we can add support for OpenAL effects on MacOSX by simply adding a compile of OpenAL-soft project when we build the JOAL natives for MacOSX and then bundle a copy of OpenAL soft 1.14 inside the joal-natives-macosx-universal.jar . This will require that we update the build scripts for the MacOSX jenkins builds.

Please test compile OpenAL soft by compiling it manually using the sources found in this git:
git clone git://repo.or.cz/openal-soft.git openal-soft
OpenAL soft uses cmake to generate the build Makefile for make or xcode project files on mac os x.
cmake -G Xcode
After that you should be able to compile it like any other xcode project.

JogAmp JOAL can use the manually built OpenAL soft library instead of the OpenAL you currently have installed on your MacOSX system, simply place the built library next to your java classes.
