Does Multipoint functionality in headphones allow you to listen to two different devices at the same time? (leminal.space)

I have been using an audio mixer at my desk for a while now so I can do things like listen to music while I play video games but I am wondering if Multipoint could replace my audio mixer and simplify my setup. Would it allow me to listen to two different devices at the same time?

I have been reading about Multitpoint on websites selling compatible headphones (Jabra and Google) and it doesn't sound like this is the case. It sounds like it's simply a faster means of switching back and forth between devices. What makes me second guess this though are posts I have seen in forums suggesting Multipoint is the solution I am looking for.

If not could some wireless DAC be the solution?

It seems you can connect to two sources at once but only actively listen to one. It’s generally described as listening to music from your Bluetooth enabled stereo and easily switch to accept a phone call from your Bluetooth enabled phone without having to disconnect from the stereo and then connect to the phone. But, you wouldn’t be able listen to music while on the call. What are you trying to accomplish?

I basically want a more fluid home theater experience with headphones I guess. Like if I'm playing video games I can listen to the game while also having something on my phone.
