Using the additional speakers for ambience is one way to do the conversion. What will your host do ? Just add 4 empty channels ? 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 ? > 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? Yes. If a host can do all that it needs no plugins. But I see no point in continuing this.
