about the 4 channels: they are 4 channels of audio to be played back by a quad

Hi there...
Sorry not to contribute to this thread earlier, I've been busy.
If you are wanting to distribute a "quad" G-Format (ie decoded from B
Format to speaker feeds) recording, I'd recommend DTS-CD format. The
encode software is inexpensive; it appears to have some advantages over
AC-3 for Ambisonic-derived work; you can distribute files or CDs; the
free player would be VLC (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/) - and of course
virtually any modern home theatre system will also work; and here's a
paper on how to do it (and the pros and cons):

You can ignore most of the stuff prior to Page 5 as you already have the
quad decode.
I hope this is helpful.
Best,
