Please not! He who is happy with lossy compression is hardly a candidate to

Lossless compression is OK, even desired, as an option, preferably something

One could play predecoded Ambisonics anywhere there's a power amp designed to
take analog inputs from multichannel DVD/SACD players; which might be useful
for demos where a decoder is impractical or impossible to hook into a
