What you can't do like this is pan an effect across the space easily.
Obviously if you've prepared a surround sound effect in Digital Performer or
ProTools etc then you can play it back.

What would be extremely nice is if instead of the standard matrix mixer you
could put in a surround sound panner Audio Unit where the position of the
sound in the field could be automated using a "pan" cue with the sound cue
as its target.

You could then play mono or stereo effects in QLab and have them fly around
the auditorium in response to cues.
