VBAN Audio 0.3.1

[Wittz]

Hello, This is a great audio plugin!

How many audio channels does it support? I have a VBAN that has 6 audio channels (VBAN supports up to 8 channels per stream aka 7.1) however i seem to only be able to pick up 3 channels. This may be though that I am running OBS in stereo mode.

It would be awesome if we were able to separate each Audio channel to a different Audio In source. That way each channel sent over VBAN can be split back out in OBS for different scenes and control. Technically this could be done using the VM Matrix but would require many more virtual I/O devices on the machine vs this one plugin for OBS.

The speaker-layout is determined by the number of channels. When you have a 8-channel stream, the stream is treated as 7.1-channel audio and automatically converted to a stereo audio.

For now, my recommendation is having multiple streams with different stream names. In OBS, you can create multiple VBAN sources and set stream name for each.

The feature sounds interesting but could you describe how it is beneficial to split 8-channel stream to multiple stereo streams when receiving? Especially, I'm afraid it is still complicated to have multiple sounds into 8-channel stream in the emitter side.
