Well, yes, and no. Actually doing something is easy, doing the Right
Thing™ is basically impossible. With LV2-style annotations, it might
be possible to tie up L to L and R to R and so on, but beyond that
it's essentially guesswork.
However, for a media player the host could just ignore all plugins
that have anything other than a LR pair of ins and a LR pair of outs,
or a 5.1 set or whatever.
You don't have to solve all the hard problem to make use a plugin
format.

It's not necessary, just intervene after each run() call, it's not
hard and on a modern machine the cost is negligible.
Sorry, I'm not understanding here. How would you do exactly?
