I think this limitation is provoking a lot of people!
Jeremiah Moore, Jason Renier, and I were just at the Exploratorium here in
San Francisco a couple weeks ago for a night on sound they hosted (the
Nature Sound Society was there too!), and we had a live Ambisonics / Ambeo
demonstration going... and my interest afterward was the question of how to
add spaced timing de-correlation back into the rendered HRTF stereo things
like Facebook produce for real time head tracking...
...I was of the opinion that it would take some non-trivial DSP and
probably additional channels of information timing, but, if you don't mind
the filtering, maybe a wider spaces tetrahedron, maybe even baffled, would
be a fine start!
Very interested in this domain :)
