Ambisonic credentials

I have joined this Wiki because it looks like you guys have an interest in Ambisonics. I can help with this. I have been following Ambisonics since 1977, and have owned an Ambisonic decoder (a Minim AD7) since 1994. I also created and maintain the Ambsonic Surround Sound FAQ. However, I do not work in pro-audio; I am just a domestic listener.

Ambisonics on XiphWiki

I found that the Ambisonics page on this Wiki had been marked for deletion. I removed this, and created a page discussing some of the problems of handling Ambisonics in the future. I also discussed how to perform channel conversions from Ambisonic B-Format to Mono and Stereo.

External resources on Ambisonics

There is now a set of Wikipedia articles on Ambisonics.
Of particular relevance is the ".amb" specification for downloadable B-Format files. There are currently over 75 pieces available in this format for free download. Most of these are first-order full-sphere soundfields. The ".amb" spec has some limitations which it would be useful to overcome.
My website has many pages on Ambisonics (including at the bottom links to other Ambisonic websites).
