I thought that the sample format was the sample depth plus the sample
rate, but sample format and sample depth are the same. Definitions are
important.

Gee. I just finished my script, and it works.

What?? Now... Heinseberg law applying to Jack... :-)

I might just count on that. I like being lucky. :-)

Isn't Qjackctl just a wrapper (or controller) for jackd? Qjackctl shows
the ports in a different (lexicographical) order, but the order does
not change when starting jackd with Qjackctl.

I'll try to use the aloop devices instead of mangling the channels
order with a bash script to create a remapping string for Mplayer. I
should be able to script the connections between the ambdec decoders and
the aloop devices, in order to use MPlayer with ALSA instead of Jack.

Nice! I'll fix my triangle decoder; it's cheaper than replacing all
my satellite speakers with full-range speakers, only for frequencies
below 120Hz.

I doubt I'll be using 4th degree anytime soon (my listening room is
very small), but there might be a need to create a new amb format using
the ACN ordering instead of the FuMA ordering. Or does it already
exists?
