Can someone comment on the double message i think i find in the spec?
There is a the specification of max number of channels in stream info
chapter 8.2
u(3) | (number of channels)-1. FLAC supports from 1 to |
| | 8 channels.
In chapter 8.6.2
A WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE_CHANNEL_MASK field of 0x0 can be used to
indicate that none of the audio channels of a file correlate with
speaker positions. This is the case when audio needs to be decoded
into speaker positions (e.g. Ambisonics B-format audio) or when a
multitrack recording is contained.
.....
What does this mean?
Is it that ambisonics cannot be streamed in second or third order with flac?
In todays widebandwith internet this feels a bit too restrictive, is
it a Dolby business thing?

Any information or ideas about this?
