The general idea is to have multiple audio tracks encoded in Max/MSP and

send that to a decoder which would then send the audio to speakers.
Some questions:
1. what kind of decoder should I use: hardware or software?
I assume is using a software decoder it will be running on another
computer.
software. but why would you want to use a separate computer for that?
either find something that works in max/msp, or use jack to patch the
generated b-format into ambdec or another decoder of your choice. what
platform are you on?
2. What would be a good scalable and portable strategy to get the audio to
the speakers?
Running a bunch of cables all over the place would be a nightmare. Are there
wireless options?
since you seem to have a problem with nightmares (i can relate to
that!), wireless is definitely _not_ an option. running cables isn't too
hard. if you must minimize the amount of cabling, go for passive
speakers with a centralized amp rack - that way, there is only one wire
per speaker.
how many channels are we talking about?
