I unwittingly started this on Facebook, which I don't user very much.
Here's the gist of it.

A Strange Brew: VoIP/Telephony Crossed With Surround Sound

With apologies to the McKenzie brothers. There appears to be an odd
cross between two of my passions in the works. As I get more into the
daily use of wideband telephony I wonder if there's a potential to
leverage some surround sound techniques to take conferencing to a new
level?

It couldn't be the puritanical kind of approach used in music
recording. It would be more a matter of using surround panning to
position participants in an synthetic soundfield. I wonder if this has
been done to any degree elsewhere?

Stereo is extremely limited in scope. Most of a synthetic stereo image
is manipulated using simplistic level based panning, not unlike an old
school balance control. It's coarse and two dimensional at best.

I'm thinking that UHJ format ambisonic encoding might prove more
useful. It allows for accurate, controllable three dimensional
positioning while only using the equivalent of a stereo stream.

I didnt see it posted on the ast-list, what do you think? Does
something like this have potential?  

   

Id love to listen in on one of these calls to see how it actually
sounds if someone builds a trial version of N deviations.
