As far as I understand there is nothing stopping us to access a multichannel soundcard from the browser.
To Marc, there is nothing else than the html competence and time that stops us from using Omnitone or JSAmbisonics to produce websites with Ambisonic content. I think with the www.ohti.xyz, this is produced with faint memories of a html course in the end of the eighties and googling shows this. The thing that I have not been able to figure out is how to create a interface for creating playlist or a GUI for a directory at files for click and play. The VLC supports ambix coded soundfield, there is somwhere a multimedia version in the works that will make it possible to use headtracking according to the VLC main developer.
