It could mean "If you want I can split the work into concurrent processes/threads in the hope that you have enough cores to benefit from this.". Or it could mean "I *will* pin different processes to different cores, and I will fail if those cores aren't there.". I Googled around but couldn't find anything that really clears this up. Mentions of multicore support on multimedia sites generally amount to little more than "Multicore support in the latest release. Yay!". Gamers often go into more detail, reporting how many cores their games are using, how it affects the FPS etc., but nothing I can find describes exactly how the games are deciding how many cores to use. (I also found some reports on Ableton sites where people fixed crackly audio by disabling multicore support.)
