Hi,

I still can't quite grasp the way it functions. Yes, the default
output is binaural, via a decoder. It does seem generally convincing,
though I've only really scratched the surface.
The earlier version could take 1st order B-Format ambisonic files,
but not output B-Format. The new version seems to be able to do that,
presumably to enable loudspeaker monitoring with a suitable decoder.
I haven't checked that app yet, but I worked with a client the other
week to get them on track with 360 degree video streaming.
As pointed out before, the goal of this app is to provide audio for 360°
streams, where the audio follows the video follows the head movements or
navigational input from the user. So the binaural output of any tool
would only be used for monitoring, the actual delivery format has to be
B-format, to enable head tracking on the client side.
And B-format (or rather, AmbiX 1st order) is what Google has decided to
use for its YouTube 360 format (aka Google Jump).
