Okay, I only tested first order...
I successfully
used it to play ambisonics files within jack. While it normally does

The way mplayer selects the ports to connect to is the
most useless I've ever seen.
It will connect to the first N ports that match a pattern.
The order depends on how jack lists them, and that is
undefined. The chances that you get the 16 channels of
a 3rd-order file connected correctly are virtually zero. Manual connection is an option of course, to be
repeated
for each file (if you play multiple files with the same
command it will 'reconnect' between them.
That re-connect is a real pity with mplayer.
Since the part I'm missing most is playing CDs it
looks
like I'll just add that to my own jack player, or write
a separate one. Looking at the alsaplayer code it seems
simple enough.
There should be libs out there that already give you access to the digital
data on the cd.
I know you hesitate but if your player really fulfills these given tasks, would
you mind releasing it?
Have fun,
