The buffer doesn't specify any other format property though, e.g. whether it's 32-bit floating point of 16-bit signed. > Consider the trivial case of merging two single channel AudioBuffers into > a two channel stream. How will it know which channel (e.g. left or right) is in each buffer? Seems arbitrary. Besides, let's say the stream is stereo interleaved. I know non-trivial conversion and resampling can occur within the AU to compensate format differences between its input and output, but for this, the input should receive data in its expected format (i.e. according to the Stream Format). For example, I cannot configure an AU to expect signed 16-bit on its input scope but somehow feed it 32-bit float buffers.
