Apple's Logic software has a binaural output mode that provides a couple different panning mechanisms. Surprisingly, it works pretty well. Localization is not perfect but it does provide better depth than stereo, and the frequency domain problems are not as bad as some systems - though they do exist. I'm not a huge Logic fan, but it helped a little for mixing 5 channels to 2 (using mono stem files and panning to binaural output). I used it for the 2nd piece posted here <http://jimmoses.wordpress.com/music/>.
