The real answer is of course to use ambisonics - full periphonic surround i=
ncluding height. Ambisonic mics work like a 3d conincident M/S system... so=
, you could get a good result with a horizontal native-B format mic arrange=
ment - 2 fig-8s and an omni... it's very like multiple coincident M/S syste=
ms. But you will probably get a workable result with double M/S, although=
the lack of coincidence will cause problems in the higher frequencies.
You can hear some ambisonic field recordings on http://www.soundofspace.com=
