Thanks Dave, not sure it helps in the big picture, it may, but it reminded me 
of one point I left out. (I am not much of a programmer these days and likely 
never was although I still have some stuff in daily use that was written back 
in the 80s.)

Put and object on the front and centre of the sound stage representing the 
listener.
Allow moving the the listener object back and sideways into the "audience" or 
anywhere on the soundstage as well.
Alternately, allow the "listener" to be any one of the players/tracks.
