mplayer has builtin hrtf available, with limitations.  You would have
to stream to mplayer from the url in order to do this with netflix, I
think.  Here's the blurb from the mplayer docs.

3.9.6. Surround emulation in headphones

MPlayer includes an HRTF (Head Related Transfer Function) filter based
on an MIT project wherein measurements were taken from microphones
mounted on a dummy human head.

Although it is not possible to exactly imitate a surround system,
MPlayer's HRTF filter does provide more spatially immersive audio in
2-channel headphones. Regular downmixing simply combines all the
channels into two; besides combining the channels, hrtf generates
subtle echoes, increases the stereo separation slightly, and alters the
volume of some frequencies. Whether HRTF sounds better may be dependent
on the source audio and a matter of personal taste, but it is
definitely worth trying out.

To play a DVD with HRTF:

mplayer dvd://1 -channels 6 -af hrtf

hrtf only works well with 5 or 6 channels. Also, hrtf requires 48 kHz
audio. DVD audio is already 48 kHz, but if you have a file with a
different sampling rate that you want to play using hrtf you must
resample it:

mplayer filename -channels 6 -af resample=48000,hrtf
