this is about *audio*. what is looks like tells you almost nothing. in
addition, you don't ned anything fancy to listen to B-format
recordings, and one of the major reasons for that is fons' open source
decoder that will allow you to listen to them with any jack-enabled
audio player and your existing equipment. you also don't need any
particular speaker setup, although clearly one of the points of
ambisonics is that (up to a limit) adding more speakers enables a more
accurate recreation of sound placement within 3D to be achieved.
