I'd say your observation, which I agree with, suggests that space can be perceived through the identification of sound artefacts that act as 'icons' (Peirce) or 'symbols' of our experience of space. In other words, the realistic projection of spatial acoustic stimuli owes much of its success to the fact that we recognise the effect of space on sound ... and accurate spatial projection is, in fact, not required to activate that recognition (but supports it well, of course) Also, Chowning's Turenas makes extensive use of the relative relationship between direct sound and reverberant sound, as a means to perceive distance. He also uses a directional reverberation, for extremely far sounds ... where what is primarily heard is the reverberant field but it comes from a specific direction. These may be as responsible, perhaps even more so than Doppler, for acting as 'icons' of space. I like Peter's suggestion that Doppler is perhaps best seen as a cue of something passing. Good cue for revealing if one has missed the bus!
