In practice, those defining such a format need not only to define the
file format itself, but also define and publish basic tools to
create/encode and decode, to a suitably wide range of representative
speaker arrangements; and of course to be able to confirm the whole
thing with listening tests. As well as expertise, that requires
considerable physical resources, to say nothing of the generation of
source material for test purposes. One way and another, it is an
expensive business!
The beautiful double blind listening-test proof (very) HOA format maybe
never will make it. An old WAVEEX based thing is also out of discussion.
How about a thing in between?
A quick and dirty "we can do it 'till april"-ambisonics that covers
already made .amb recordings up to third order and some additional
screen and LFE channels?
What about ambiX? Franz Zotter reading? :)
