Playing multichannel audio files on Mac OS X

Hi!

I use OpenAL to output the audio stream of video files in my video
player application. That works fine with multichannel input and output
using OpenAL Soft on Linux.

I use the AL_EXT_MCFORMATS extension to set the appropriate format for
multichannel audio data, and OpenAL does the right thing automatically
depending on the capabilities of the output device.

Now I'm told that Apple's OpenAL implementation on Mac OS X does not
support AL_EXT_MCFORMATS. Is there a different way to play multichannel
audio files on this system? Are there plans to add support for this
extension?

Best regards,
Martin
