True, but irrelevant.

If you have N channels feeding a panner with 5.1 outs v's N channels  
feeding 2.1 outs, I very much doubt that you want that to be a single  
plugin.

Ambisonics may well be different, but my understanding is that there's  
a selection of different formats, and you don't go between them by  
just adding or removing channels.

Agreed. I still don't know how you'd make it work though.
