For windows, a very good one is Visual Virtual Microphone:
http://mcgriffy.com/audio/ambisonic/vvmic/
For cross platform try Roger Klaveness's Java Ambisonics Player.
Currently his site is messed up in that the html requires a download to
view it, so here are both the info and software link:
http://sites.google.com/a/klaveness.info/www/ambplay.html
http://sites.google.com/a/klaveness.info/www/AmbisonicsPlayer.zip
There are more including a Windows Media Player plugin refer to the Wiki:
