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.
@Stefano: Without having seen anything from your spec, when you don't allow
different numbers of input- and output-channels your spec is absolutely
worthless.
Because...?
Even the effects in mplayer (which is as far as I
understand your mails your
target as a media-player) can have 2-in and 6-out as far as I know from using
it.
Yep, but this is not that great for automatic chaining of effects...
or am I wrong?
LV2 might be to complicated because of all its
possible extensions, but
allowing for any number of inputs and any number of outputs of any type with
a varying number of samples/events per instance-run is one of the things that
seem to be crucial to plugins these days.
Everything still applies, without the "any number of inputs and outputs" part.
