UPMIX PLUGIN
============

The upmix plugin is an easy-to-use plugin for upmixing to 4 or
6-channel stream.  The number of channels to be expanded is determined
by the slave PCM or explicitly via channel option.  For example, the
following PCM defines upmixing to 5.1 from 1-6 channels input:

        pcm.upmix51 {
                type upmix
                slave.pcm "surround51"
        }

You can use this PCM as a default one by defining below:

        pcm.!default "plug:upmix51"

The upmix plugin copies left and right channels to rear left and right
with a certain delay.  The delay size can be specified by "delay" PCM
option in msec.  For example, to set 10ms delay in the above case:

        pcm.upmix51 {
                type upmix
                slave.pcm "surround51"
                delay 10
        }

As default, 15ms delay is used.

The channel option specifies the number of channels of output.  Either
4 or 6 channels are supported.  When 0 is passed, the plugin tries 4
or 6 channels appropriately suitable for the slave pcm.  The channel
option is useful if the slave PCM has no strict input condition (like
plug or route plugin).

        pcm.myupmix {
                type upmix
                slave.pcm "something"
                channels 6
        }

The center and LFE channels are the average of sum of left and right
signals.

The accepted format is currently only S16.
