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:

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. 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?

Is the plugin supposed to know it gets silence on these channels ?
Will your host add 20 empty channels to the input of the plugin
that converts a signal from an .amb file to my 24-speaker setup ?

Yes. If a host can do all that it needs no plugins. But I see no
point in continuing this.

You're obviously not reading what I'm writing, so it's really
pointless to go on.
