Well I don't think a plugin host can ever do the right thing unless
it is AMB aware itself. For a multichannel compressor the gain has to
be the same in all channels, AMB or not. So you can't just replicate a
mono plugin. For the compressor I'm developing, in AMB mode only the W
channel affects the gain. A host can't arrange that, unless 1) the
compressor is multichannel by design and 2) it has a separate detector
(sidechain) input and 3) the host allows you to send just one channel
of a multichannel track to that special input. Maybe A3 can do that.
But it would just cover this simple case. It's much easier to provide
the function *inside* the plugin.
If you want to test it it's available (along with an EQ) if you accept
the NDA.

There are three of them, and Alleline.
Another
question to two (Joern and Fernando) AMB nerds: does
a multicnannel AMB aware dynamics processor make sense ? When
would you use it ? I'm asking because one of the plugins I'm
developing could be exactly that.
oh, certainly. it would be divine to *not* be able to do evil sum
compression in ambisonics, ever, but sometimes, earthly matters
require it...
but my favourite solution to this approach would be for ardour to do
the right thing wrt side chaining (or at least allowing the chains
to be made manually). i'm told a3 can do it, and i'll be checking it
out.
