Hi everybody, So, FLAC cannot support more than eight channels, even in an Ogg container.
Bosse, if you want to play back HOA through the web, wouldn't you use the Web Audio API or an ambisonics library based on the Web Audio API? Something like the JSAmbisonics? If that is the case, you are lucky because you can fetch multiple 8-channel FLAC files, sync them with the WAAPI transport functions, and feed them into your decoder. After all, streaming more than eight audio channels is generally not readily accepted in browsers. Splitting the material into multiple 8-channel files synchronized on the playback engine is the logical thing to do. Is that helpful?
