Dear Richard and Sursounders, The AES-X212 "Spatial acoustic data file format" standardizes a file format to exchange HRTF data. The format is designed to be extendable to represent any space-related data, such as spatial room impulse responses (SRIR) measured with multichannel microphone and loudspeaker arrays. It builds upon the spatially oriented format for acoustics (SOFA) and has the filename extension "sofa".
The AES-X212 Task Group Draft got approved by the AES-SC earlier this year. I am currently working on the final edits and we should get the standard published within the next few weeks. An application-programming interface (API) with similar calls for various programming languages (Matlab, Octave, C++) and for different computer platforms is available online at http://www.sofaconventions.org as well as on http://sourceforge.net/projects/sofacoustics. The API provides functionality to create, read, and write SOFA files. The SOFA website already hosts source materials from different HRTF databases. Please note that these data are encoded using a beta version of the AES-X212 format.
