Question that just occurred to me.  I'm very ignorant about spatial
audio, and although I'm sure several of my colleagues could tell me
this, I thought it might be sort of on-topic here.  Is it possible, or
easy, or sensible, or worthwhile, to reduce a B-format recording into
stereo in multiple different ways in order to achieve different
subjective "listener position" results when using headphones?
