I don't think acoustic levitation can be explained as long as
linearity is assumed - because in that case there can't be any
constant term in the forces that he acoustic waves generate.
So what's going on here is probably a lot more complex than
we imagine, and the way it's 'explained' in the video is
completely bogus.
