What seems to be still missing (but I could be wrong), is a "standard" standalone ambisonics audio player. If such a player could play and decode ambisonics audio streams (hosted on a audio streaming web site), then it'd be an excellent start. Something similar to what audio streaming is for stereo, and that we take for granted. What went wrong with surround sound in general is still a mystery to me... But there's hope.
If I understand you correctly, the idea is to stream WXY (to keep it simple) and have this decoded in the browser, rather than 4.0 directly. This seems to me to be akin to using M&S files rather than L&R. It involves a further layer of complication at the client end, and I am not sure of the advantage, other than it reduces data bandwith by 25%; but bandwidth is surely not a problem these days.
But I am always ready to be corrected! David _______________________________________________ Sursound mailing list Sursound@music.vt.edu https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/listinfo/sursound - unsubscribe here, edit account or options, view archives and so on.
