Hi,
   Just a word of warning, take care using compressed formats like mp4 for
storing B format. If the compression used is lossy, this can screw up the
decoding since phase errors can result in the sum and difference equations
involved producing wrong results. Of course, storing pre-decoded signals in
a compressed format doesn't suffer from this.

PS Len - congrats on the OctoMic.
