The one AU type where this is optional is the music device. For an effect, it has to have an input. For a generator we expect no inputs. For other AU types, an input would be required.

Yes it is a music device.



For the music device though, there is no real difference between having an input and having the option of having one. The AU can always tell if there is anything connected to an input or not, and I would think that if the instrument can accept input, then it might as well have an input element available in any case.

Well there is unnecessary processing occurring if the music device accepts 0 inputs but can't be configured that way. IMO I think that the an AU should fail AUValidation if it says on the one hand that it can accept 0 inputs but then when it is configured as such it does not accept them (but that is because I had a bug in my app that in this condition did not fill in the audio buffers since my host app incorrectly presumed that the AU was accepting the promised no input configuration!).

What is the type of your audio unit? If it's aufx then I'd expect at least one input too...

Hello Bill,

Shouldn't a user be able to use 0 inputs if the audio inputs are optional?

auval is probably ignoring the 0 because the AU clearly has an input element.

I have run into a curious problem with a particular plug-in.

I call kAudioUnitProperty_SupportedNumChannels to get the supported channel info on this plug-in and I clearly get this array: 0000 0002 0001 0002 0002 0002

Meaning to me that it accepts 0 in 2 out, 1 in 2 out and 2 in 2 out.

However in Auval all I see is:

FORMAT TESTS:

Input/Output Channel Handling:
1-1 1-2 1-4 1-5 2-2 2-4 2-5 4-4 4-5 5-5 5-2 6-6 8-8
X X


In other words AUVal does not see the 0 in 2 out. Also the problem I am having is that if I set the plug-in to 0 in 2 out it will not accept it and sets its input number back to 2.

Any help appreciated here.

Note that AULab does not show 0 inputs as a possible configuration either.

Note also that I am using a very old version of AUVal 1.1b9 I think since others I have seem to have expired.
