Link to 1st and 2nd order Ambisonic VST and Direct Show decoders along with a new Ambisonic Reverb VST plug-in.

A new and interesting spatial audio system based on a combination of technologies has recently been announced by Günther Theile and colleagues at Hauptmikrofon.de. It gets round the limitations of crosstalk cancelled binaural presentation by making use of Wavefield Synthesis Techniques. Details at the link below.

The Binaural Source
Audio is usually Binaural

"THE BINAURAL SOURCE has been in business for over a dozen years. It grew out of the national radio

"Ambisonia.com is a community of surround audio enthusiasts who publish high quality surround sound in a format called Ambisonics."

Ambisonic Bootlegs - an on-line resource for Ambisonic surround sound recordings. This includes details on how to play them on various systems (PC, MAC, Linux).

Developments in measuring the acoustic characteristics of concert halls and opera houses are leading to standardized methods of impulse response capture for a wide variety of auralization applications. The work presented here are some of the results from a recent UK survey of non-traditional performance venues focused in the field of acoustic archaeology. Sites have been selected and analyzed based on some feature of interest in terms of their acoustic properties. As well as providing some insight as to the characteristics and construction of these spaces, the resulting database of measurements has a primary use in convolution based reverberation and auralization.
