我有一个基于CoreAudio的MacOS / X程序，该程序允许用户选择输入音频设备和输出音频设备，并且（如果用户没有为输入和输出选择相同的设备，输出），我的程序创建了一个私有的聚合音频设备，并使用它来接收音频，处理音频，然后将其发送出去进行播放。
都很好，但是有一个小问题-如果所选输入设备还具有与其硬件相关联的某些输出，则这些输出将显示为聚合设备输出通道的一部分，这不是行为我想要。同样，如果所选的输出设备还具有与其硬件相关联的某些输入，则这些输入将在聚合设备的输入中显示为输入通道，我也不希望这样做。
我的问题是，有没有办法告诉CoreAudio不要在我正在构建的聚合设备中包括子设备的输入或输出？ （我的后备解决方案是修改我的音频渲染回调以忽略不需要的音频通道，但这似乎不够优雅，所以我很好奇是否有更好的处理方法）
我创建聚合设备的函数在下面，如果相关的话：

[有一些处理通道映射的方法（您基本上在描述），但是我怀疑这是否是您情况下的“更好”方法。
此类功能在使用音频单元的AudioToolbox框架中进行了介绍。在这种情况下，尤其是kAudioUnitSubType_HALOutput AudioUnit（AUComponent.h）很有趣。
使用这种AudioUnit，您可以以指定的通道格式与特定的音频设备之间收发音频。当所需的通道布局与设备的通道布局不匹配时，可以进行通道映射。
要获取一些技术细节，请查看：https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn2091/_index.html
请注意，很多AudioToolbox正在被AVAudioEngine取代。
因此，在您的情况下，我认为通过忽略不需要的样本来进行手动通道映射会更容易。另外，我不确定CoreAudio是否提供“许可”输出缓冲区。为了确保可以自己使它们静音。
