Arnold,
I am thinking about adding a 5.1-to-ambisonics
mixer/panner to move the
specialized channels with their defined positions to virtual sources in my
ambisonics surrounding. Don't know if that works out...
5.1 is not about proper physical modelling of sound sources, but more
about producing a 'sound experience'. This can mean, for example, that
the audio engineer creates a 2.0 mix and puts some ambience on the rear
channels. It will be a completely different beast and in my experience
it sounds worse than a pure 5.1 playback.
If you find 5.1 material that works out ok, please let me know. I'm
always interested in good references.
