Can't connect converter Audio Unit to Reverb Effect

I am trying to reshape an AUGraph that looks like this:

multichannel mixer -> remote I/O

into something like this:

callback -> converter1 -> bandpass -> reverb -> converter2 -> mixer(bus 0) -> remote I/O

after the graph has been initialized and started (i.e., "on the fly"). To allow the stream formats to propagate and the audio units to negotiate the format of each connection, I am appending the newly created audio units in this order:

1. Clear all existing connections (AUGraphClearConnections()).
2. Rebuild default connections (mixer -> remote I/O)
3. Attach converter2 to mixer, bus #0 (converter2 matches its output to mixer: integer)
4. Attach reverb to converter2 (converter1 matches its input to reverb: float)
5. Attach bandpass to reverb (both use float)
6. Attach converter1 to bandpass (converter1 should match its output to bandpass: float)

(converter1's input was previously set to integer, manually, using AudioUnitSetProperty)

...and finally, connect a render callback to converter #1's input.

I check the return value (error code) of all Core Audio functions. In addition, after connecting each node, I call AUGraphUpdate() and CAShow() on the graph.

The final step ("5. Connect converter #1 to bandpass effect"), fails with code -10868 (kAudioUnitErr_FormatNotSupported).

This is the CAShow() output just before the offending call to AUGraphUpdate():

So, What's going on?

NOTE the last call to AUGraphConnectNodeInput() itself returns noErr; It it the graph update after that that throws the error.

So, the Golden Rule Of Stack Overflow hits again:

Post a question, and within 5 minutes you will find the answer on your own. But only if you post it!

Jokes aside, this is how I solved it:

Before connecting the outer converter #1 (between the source render callback, and the first filter) I grabbed the filter's native stream format, and manually set it to the converters stream format (output scope), like this:

AudioStreamBasicDescription filterStreamDesc = { 0 };

UInt32 size = sizeof(filterStreamDesc);

// GET
result = AudioUnitGetProperty(reverbUnit,
                              kAudioUnitProperty_StreamFormat,
                              kAudioUnitScope_Input, // output or global should work, too?
                              0,
                              &(filterStreamDesc),
                              &size);

[self checkAudioResult:result]; // (custom method that compares against noErr)

// SET
result = AudioUnitSetProperty(converterUnit0,
                              kAudioUnitProperty_StreamFormat,
                              kAudioUnitScope_Output,
                              0,
                              &(filterStreamDesc),
                              size);

//(input stream format already set above)

[self checkAudioResult:result]; // (custom method that compares against noErr)

So to sum it up, for some reason I had to directly set both stream formats: input(int) and output (float) before I could connect this converter. The one between the existing multichannel mixer and the new reverb filter somehow manages to set itself up automatically... (still a bit puzzled, but then again... Core Audio, right?)
