It would work like this:

What do you mean by 'converts to 5.1' ?
That's actually what the plugin is supposed to do,
and the only reason why it's being used. If the host
is doing this sort of thing then you don't need plugins
at all.
With 'converting stereo to 5.1' I was meaning something like this (roughly):
left_out = surround_left_out = left_in
right_out = surround_right_out = right_in
lfe_out = center_out = (left_in + right_in) / 2
(or lfe_out with some kind of low-pass filtering, you choose)
(the effect
states it needs 6 channels)
Which doesn't imply 5.1.
What would be in the 6 input channels ?
This is true. But this is true for LADSPA (LV2 too?) as well. Ok, I'm
thinking about it for the next draft.
