What do you mean by "encoder"
Encoder for us is something like an AAC or MP3 encoder (and these
formats
have nothing to do with audio units, but you do this with audio
codecs)
My plug in encodes audio from surround channels into a stereo signal.
By 'encode' do you mean that some kind of 'decoder' (standard or
proprietary) can later extract the surround channels again? Is the
stereo signal listenable on a 2-channel system? Can it be mixed
further like any other stereo signal? Or does it become an encoded
bit stream that sounds like white noise? I get the impression that
what you're doing is down-mixing and not encoding, at least not by
any standard definition of encoding.
I have found the "Down Mixer" AU in Logic which does exactly what I
need but doesn't get listed by that name if I do "auval -a". Any idea
what the real name of this AU and its AU type are so I can duplicate
that behaviour?
Are you sure that's an actual AudioUnit and not one of the private
Logic plugins? I couldn't find it myself, until I looked in the
1,000 page manual. I'm quite certain that is not an AU - it's
proprietary to Logic and not available elsewhere. Logic has its own
plugin format, like VST, MAS, RTAS, etc.
