Embarrassingly for me, too, I think I may have been involved in a minor way
on this as I suspect (but can't actually remember!) that Tony used a UHJ
encoder plugin (VST) I was writing to do this. Incidentally, the reason for
no contact with Tony is that he became Head of Department of Music & Media
at Surrey University in 2012 - you should be able to contact him there. I
note that on his webpage there it says that this recording is available on
CD and "multiple, multi-channel digital audio formats in full surround
sound."
