Hi Jan,
Here's some comments based on my review of the ambisonics draft:
3. Ambisonics With Ogg Opus
> Ambisonics MAY be encapsulated in the Ogg format by encoding with the
I would suggest replacing the normative MAY by just "can"
3.1. Channel Mapping Family 2
> This channel mapping uses the same channel mapping table format used
> by channel mapping families 1 and 255.
I would suggest saying "mapping family 1" rather than "mapping families
1 and 255" since otherwise, you have families 2 referencing itself.
Also, we don't know what families 4 and up will look like.
3.2. Channel Mapping Family 3
I would suggest removing the "Output Channel Numbering" field because it
is fully equivalent to simply permuting lines of the matrix. Also, I
believe that the size of the matrix was meant to be "32*(N+M)*C bits"
rather than "32*N*C bits".
About the matrix -- and as previously discussed privately -- I think it
should probably be stored as 16-bit integers in Q15 format. If any
global scaling is ever required, then the "output gain" field can always
be used.

This text is unclear about whether partial order 11 is allowed. I have
no strong opinion on the subject, but think it should be clarified.
Cheers,
