I'm sorry if you misunderstood me, but it's not my solution, no.  It's
the amazing work of a few Ambisonic fans here in the mailing list and
on the wiki.  So far, it seems things are stalling because no one
proposed a way to make Ambisonic Vorbis files work with legacy
players/decoders.  We'll see how that goes.

I do not think so.  At least here it seems the Ambisonic solution will
prevail, since it has several benefits and advantages.

Do not lose hope.  We never know who's lurking.
