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?
