If they are speaker feeds AND are a standard Connection formats will probably be defined by GMPI, with an option to have a simple n-way connection. This allows most people to use well defined formats, but leaves room for anyone to make up a format on the fly. Making up a format means that some plugins won't exactly know what to do with you, but you can always split and merge streams to new bundles. > configuration as in ITU standard 5.1, then we all "know" what this > means in terms of layout angles, but what of other configurations The names suggested in the req are well-known names for well-known formats. Whether LEFT actually comes out your left speaker is up to you to wire up.
