Stefan, I was not stating that MPEG and ISO are evil. As a hobbyist, my
question is: how Ambisonics might be included in a standard format made
by the industry for the industry, that "everybody" would then have to
use if there are no viable (and simple) alternative appart from the AMB
format. I can only wait and see.

You don't have to use any standard. But I see that especially MPEG has
defined standards which are used pretty everywhere, included in the
freeish Android OS based on Linux and Java.
Clients wouldn't buy phones which don't support MP3 or AAC or AVC
codecs, every single one is a MPEG standard.
You could replace these maybe with Vorbis/Opus/ or Daala video codec (to
be defined), but sometimes the first solutions will stay because people
don't bother.
But at least you see that I am informed about the free competition, if
citing topics like Daala etc. :-)
At first you need a real standard for 3D audio, I would say.
(Dolby Atmos won't do it for home use, UHD TV etc.)
Best,
Stefan
P.S.: FLAC was the first widely used codec for lossless compression, so
here the commercial competition has a problem.
