Just curious if anybody here does pro logic mixing, and what tools in OS X there are. So far I've been able to use MDA RoundPan and VBox (Peak) for just about everything, but some audio positioning and manual panner would be nice....

Unfortunately, AAC will not help concerning SRD (dolby digital), DTS, or even SR encoding...
Anyway you can "work" in multi-channel, untill your sequencer can output 4/6/8 channels at a time through any audio interface, and let you spatialize internally any track between them, in the way you like it. If you're mixerless, that is...

Encoding is another story, IMHE. No matter what, you will need a license from dolby or dts to just encode your material with their proprietary format ($$$), and you'd better be carefull with this phase, as it's VERY controlled by laboratories and respective trademarks...

I 100% agree with you all, it would be great to be able to encode for our personal & private use (hey, wanna hear my new 5.1 record on DVD? :-D ) and i'm pretty sure it's easily doable via a plugin (cf Dolby TDM&HD), but there is licensing issues under these, don't you think?

As stated by Gdoubleyou, the only tool that i know of to do that under OS X is DVD Studio. PT6 & Dolby plug will probably follow next year. Maybe there are also some text-mode utilities ported from *nix, but i doubt. Anyone?

Bye.
