AFAIK neither are essential to get started with ambisonics.
a /usr/share/doc/ambisonics/HowToGetStarted
would be much more useful:

http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2010/papers/5.pdf

and maybe also http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2010/papers/6.pdf
from Joern, and the aliki and ambisonics papers from
http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/papers/index.html
come to mind; There may be other good introductory READMEs as well..
Fons, Joern, anyone?!
