The minimum for surround with height is 8 speakers, for Ambisonics 1st

need 12+ speakers, although I suspect there could be a solution with
less speakers than 12. (Feeback welcome...)
Some have tried to reproduce "some" height information via a 7.1 layout.
(And even 5.1, but here there are severe limitations.)
Can anyone shed further light on the usefulness of the 3D 7.1 layout that
Richard Furse's player offers? Possibly only a segment of a sphere, rather
than full sphere, but is it useful *enough*?
