Check the Computer Music Journal website in their archive issues,
for the Fall 2003 issue. There's an article of Csound with 6-Output 
and 8-Output audio--- Octophonic, Hexaphonic Panning from Quadraphonic
configuration [pages 5-12, (using Csound). I've experimented a little 
and adapted from it to achive similar but not same results. You may 
be able to adapt portions of it for your purposes. 

And pages 62-64 has some interesting Csound applications using "morph"
opcodes that I've since made excellent use of.

Maybe worth checking out.

I have another question. Is 2nd order ambisonic possible with 6
outputs (speakers) in Csound?

Best,

Peiman
