Have you looked at the binaural converter in Soundhack? Is it the same
sort of thing?

The binaural converter in soundhack takes a mono sound and places it
where you want in the soundfield, both horizontally and vertically. I've
only poked at it a couple times, the algorithm it uses was developed by
some group at NASA. The idea is that you do this to several sounds and
mix them to build a pseudo binaural recording. It's definitely not going
to be a one click thing with it.

My son is in the process of becoming a programmer, including mac, looked
at what you want and said it was more complex than he'd be interested in.
