That is in-band signalling, and a bad idea for many reasons. > The order of the channels will be as follows: Why define speakers positions if the format is Ambisonic ? It's up to the receiver to decode it, using whatever speaker positions it has available. The speaker positions you propose would not even support a full third order decode. Apart from that, high order ambisonics is not an efficient delivery format. It's OK for up to 2nd order or so, maybe 3rd, but above that an object based format (e.g. Atmos) can provide much better performance for the same channel count.
