But to me it's sheer impossible to find out what channels should be downmixed to. I mean how am i supposed to know what channel is LFE, what channel is the Center speaker.
Well, that's all clearly specified either:
(1) In the bitmap
(2) In the channel descriptions
(3) Implied in the layout tag
[...]
Aaaaah, this looks like it's more what I was looking for. Thank you for this. I knew there had to be a way under 350 lines of switch case statements.

For ppl who didn't follow this thread. This queries the current speakersetup for the device, it does NOT *set* a channel layout for the data provided to the AUHAL.
So for anyone else who ever wants to do this, you'll be looking for something like this:


/* Get the channel layout */
AudioChannelLayout layout;
/* Notice that this query is on the output scope of the AU and asks for a Device property.
This was the only way i could get this working */
verify_noerr( AudioUnitGetPropertyInfo( p_sys->au_unit,
kAudioDevicePropertyPreferredChannelLayout,
kAudioUnitScope_Output,
0,
&i_param_size,
NULL ));


verify_noerr( AudioUnitGetProperty( p_sys->au_unit,
kAudioDevicePropertyPreferredChannelLayout,
kAudioUnitScope_Output,
0,
&layout,
&i_param_size ));


/* Lets fill out the ChannelLayout */
if( layout.mChannelLayoutTag == kAudioChannelLayoutTag_UseChannelBitmap)
{
msg_Dbg( p_aout, "bitmap defined channellayout" );
verify_noerr( AudioFormatGetProperty( kAudioFormatProperty_ChannelLayoutForBitmap,
sizeof( UInt32), &layout.mChannelBitmap,
&i_param_size,
&layout ));
}
else if( layout.mChannelLayoutTag != kAudioChannelLayoutTag_UseChannelDescriptions )
{
msg_Dbg( p_aout, "layouttags defined channellayout" );
verify_noerr( AudioFormatGetProperty( kAudioFormatProperty_ChannelLayoutForTag,
sizeof( AudioChannelLayoutTag ), &layout.mChannelLayoutTag,
&i_param_size,
&layout ));
}


msg_Dbg( p_aout, "Layout of AUHAL has %d channels" , layout.mNumberChannelDescriptions );

p_aout->output.output.i_physical_channels = 0;
for( i = 0; i < layout.mNumberChannelDescriptions; i++ )
{
switch( layout.mChannelDescriptions[i].mChannelLabel )
{
case kAudioChannelLabel_Left:
p_aout->output.output.i_physical_channels |= AOUT_CHAN_LEFT;
continue;
case kAudioChannelLabel_Right:
p_aout->output.output.i_physical_channels |= AOUT_CHAN_RIGHT;

case kAudioChannelLabel_Center:
p_aout->output.output.i_physical_channels |= AOUT_CHAN_CENTER;

case kAudioChannelLabel_LFEScreen:

default:

}
}
