Fons, John and Victor,

I'd like further feedback from you on my request. (I may be way off base in 
my proposal.)

Stereo ambisonic decoding in Csound never worked correctly, though I was 
quite happy with the results of Victor's "kludge": to add four outputs each 
of bformenc into the inputs of a stereo decode. The sonic result of this *to 
me* was superior to a simple pan. Perhaps, Fons, you are saying that this is 
not true?

I'm assuming that more than stereo (quad, eight channels, etc.) would be 
useless on the OLPC computer. Correct? (If not, let's just have the standard 
ambisonics as part of the OLPC distribution.)

For me, I guess the basic question is: will "stereo ambisonics" be more 
realistic spatially than basic pan?

Precise stereo placement, and precise movement of individual sounds in space 
is important to me.

Thanks for your expert opinions -

Art Hunkins
