But it is never going to fly in playback terms.
Everyone takes for granted (I assume) that
people can and often do things to make recordings
that do not happen at the playback end.
(How many consumers know Protools?)
That was hardly the point.
What seems to have emerged from this long discussion
is that Ambisonics is really not going to be much use
as a consumer format--or perhaps more precisely, that
rather few people here are interested in making it
of much use as a consumer format.
I think this is a shame, because I was under the
impression(and still am) that it makes for rather
nice playback.

Future consumer formats will be file-based, computer-decodable. If so,
there is more opportunity for several surround formats existing next to
each other. (5.1 has to be included into the bigger framework.)
I mean, you have to <decode > AVC and HEVC (successor standard for video
compression, nearly finished), and you have to decode a movie which is
presented in some container format. (sound, menus, synchronization...)
