It does neither of the two you mentioned unless you define transform differently that I do. The outer ear collects sound to funnel it into the inner ear.
From Google:
The outer ear, external ear, or auris externa is the external portion of the ear, which consists of the auricle (also pinna) and the ear canal. It gathers sound energy and focuses it on the eardrum (tympanic membrane).
