Just a note on terminology. I had thought the list agreed sometime ago that the term "B-Format" was not limited to first-order, but included an Ambisonic soundfield of any order. Hence the phrase "Higher order B-format channels"; the higher-order channels are still B-Format channels. Stefan's use of the term seems different from this.
