Modulo that correction, that's probably something that anyone who
has ever done any maths related to HOA decoding, beamforming,
rotation, etc. will confirm without any reservation. 

Another matter: what is the 'official' definition of IEM's
Ambix format ? Problem is that I find contradicting info.

There's the paper: 

<http://iem.kug.ac.at/fileadmin/media/iem/projects/2011/ambisonics11_nachbar_zotter_sontacchi_deleflie.pdf>

and the source code on Github:

<https://github.com/umlaeute/ambix/blob/master/libambix/src/uuid_chunk.c>

These mention different UUIDs for the extended (with matrix) format.
Also in the paper it is at least suggested (Fig. 1) that the matrix
dimensions are 32-bit floating point, while the code uses 32-bit
integers (which makes sense).
