It would work like this:
stereo input -> hosts converts to 5.1 (the effect states it needs 6
channels) -> apply effect with 6 in channels and 6 out channels -> 5.1
output
How would the host convert the stereo input to 5.1? In my view, that is the
whole purpose of the effect.
The original question was:
OK, I'm playing a stereo file on my 5.1 setup and
want a plugin
to add some ambience using all speakers. That's 2 in, 6 out,
and nothing special I'd say.
Now, if I undestood it correctly, it was about adding some ambience to
5.1 sound, not just converting to 5.1.
Think about it, if an host supports 5.1 output and stereo input, it
really should know how to do conversion without relying on external
plugins, or am I missing something?
