Apple's Logic's SpaceDesigner reverb used to come with a bunch of B-format IRs.

I mean, one really doesn't need that many, if all one does try is to create 
some realistic sounding ambience. If one wants to do auralization, one will 
likely have to either create a whole set of IRs for all location-listening 
position permutations, or synthesize them with appropriate software.

The latter would be something that would be pretty cool: an add-on to 3D 
modeling software, that gives objects not just optical surface properties, but 
also acoustic ones. Then, in addition to cameras/light sources in the scene one 
could also place microphones and sound sources in the scene, and computer, in 
some sort of impulse wave tracing IRs to match that modeled environment, real 
or imagined.
