why would you want to do that? ambdec comes with a number of example
configurations, and iirc, they cover all the speaker layouts that are
covered on richard's page, plus a few more.
or do you want to create a custom layout and have amb*i*dec compute a
configuration for you?
if so, conversion between polar and cartesian is not too hard... if your
listening position is at the origin of both coordinate systems, then
(off the top of my head), you should get something like:
azimuth = arctan (y/x)
elevation = arctan (z/(sqrt(x^2 + y^2))
r = sqrt (x^2 + y^2 + z^2)
(do double-check that, it's late and i don't even have a scrap of paper
here to draw it up properly...)
i'm pretty sure that the custom layout matrix you will get out of
amb*i*dec will yield worse results than ambdec, because it does not do
proper dual-band decoding.
out of curiosity, what layout are you looking for?
best,
jörn
