the first thing that comes to mind is the channel layout capabilities of CAF, it's more advanced than Ogg or Flac. http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MusicAudio/Reference/CAFSpec/CAF_spec/chapter_3_section_5.html is there any other format that can properly tag an audio file as an ambisonics 1st order file? i havn't looked into CAF before, it looks promising. my question is: if you put Flac in a CAF container, it's not playable with any FLAC compatible player. FLAC is also a lossless format, which means you can recode it. this would be a good time to fix design "errors" (if there are any) in Flac for CAF/Flac. btw, do you also want to put wavpack into the CAF container?
