I had a talk with Jeff Krebs a few days ago (old time Lers know who he is) and he is at Eyeon now. This sounds like one of the workflows that Eyeon could facilitate. Even though it is known as a compositing platform, apparently they have done a tone with scripting and this sort of stuff can be automated easily.
I haven't played with it yet, or seen any of this done, but Jeff will bee demoing it at the January Editors' Lounge. Maybe he will chime in here on how to accomplish these things.

Then export audio tracks 1&2 as mono AIFF. Then export audio tracks 3,4,5,6 as a stereo mix down to an AIFF. And then audio tracks 7,8,9,10 as a stereo mix down to an AIFF. Which is basically what the trailer houses ask for. Picture with separate Dialog, SndFX and Music stems.

Each audio track is exported to it's own AIFF. VFX vendors sometimes ask for this so they can see what is happening on each layer of an effect that we are sending then a guide reference on.

But I think that many would benefit from being able to batch export to different settings directly out of Media Composer and not having to use something like Ref QTs and Compressor.
