You have a point.  Another possibility would be if you're rendering 
several sound fields on one device (say, a PC sound card) and then 
shipping it off to another device (say, a mobile device) for playback.  
"Cloud rendering" for audio, if you will.

Of course, that assumes your implementation has some kind of loopback 
support, and that there's some compelling reason to go to the trouble in 
the first place (rather than just doing the rendering on the mobile 
device to begin with).

Just speculating.
