The only AAC encoder that supports 4 channels is FAAC. This plugin requires input's channel layout to be 0x107 ( FRONT_CENTER, REAR_CENTER, FRONT_LEFT, FRONT_RIGHT).

When everything is right, the final.wav should contain correct spatial cue when listening. Otherwise, the spatial cue is either wrong or doesn't exist). Result: TEST-1 is correct, while TEST-2 is not. </p> <p><br> </p> <p>TEST-1:</p> <p></p> <div></div> <div>./gst-launch-1.0 -e \</div> <div>alsasrc device=hw:2 ! foaa2b ! deinterleave name=d \</div> <div>interleave name=i ! faac ! faad ! deinterleave name=dd \</div> <div>interleave name=ii ! wavenc ! filesink location=final.wav \</div> <div>d.src_0 ! queue ! audioconvert !
