I remember a few years ago there was talk of getting Ambisonic playback going
in VLC. Did that ever get anywhere? Or, indeed, Ambisonic playback for any
cross-platform player?
Anytime the subject is brought up, it's drowned out by people screaming that
anything below n-th order isn't good enough. If we can't get first something
like first order horizontal-only out there, it's never going anywhere.
The scope of VLC is explained (partially) here:
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
Seems to be video-centric. (Main purpose of VLC is to play film files.
Multichannel support will be 5.1, accordingly. I would understand if
they would support binaural representation via headphones, but
Ambisonics doesn't make a lot of sense for them.)
Best,
Stefan
P.S.: Why can't all these university departments not simply < manage >
to develop some own open source Ambisonics player, including the < Play

P.S. 2: The question is certainly not which toolkit to use. Many there
are. :-)
