Its a drum sampler, it needs 8 x stereo outputs. 

The user needs to be able to route different samples to different stereo outputs, to allow assignment to different mixer tracks in logic.  The config needs to show up in logic etc as having 8 x stereo outputs, not 16 mono (or a surround format).

Then 8 x stereo outputs it is ... which is different than, say 8 busses each with 2 outputs.

I may be a bit rusty on this, but I don't think there's any way to enforce "stereo" unless you put exactly 2 channels on each bus. If you have 16 channels then there's no way to distinguish 16 mono from 8 stereo or multiple 5.1, 7.1, or even a 10.2 surround setup. At least I don't recall a way to specify this with output configurations in an AU.

You can, of course, establish a convention by instructing end users to treat odd-even pairs as stereo. But nothing will prevent them from treating your bus as 16 mono channels.

Which is actually way more flexible than imposing 8 busses and thus forcing the host to make 8 render callbacks, 1 per host, rather than allow the user to intelligently use them as they see fit.
