For windows ( and osX), should not this work? A program to host VST plugins on windows http://www.hermannseib.com/english/vsthost.htm For Mac OS http://wacvst.sourceforge.net/ A VST ambisonic decoder http://vvaudio.com/products/vvmicvst
I have not tested, will try soon... We should have a webpage/wiki where simple setups for playing amb can be documented.

I've never got round to trying this myself, but it seems as though Quicktime player, along with a few other bits, might be persuaded to do the job. You can get it to output multi-channel streams, which could be B-Format, or just use UHJ as suggested. Use Soundflower to send the audio stream to another application (e.g. Bidule, Max, Audio Mulch, Reaper), and find or build a decoder that works in it. Bruce's plug-ins are a good bet for this. Not exactly for the computer phobic, and you still need a fair amount of gear: multi-channel audio interface etc. You might be able to use HDMI if your computer can send LPCM audio streams via it to an AV receiver, and persuade said receiver to handle it correctly. Done once it should be possible to help others do it.
