i'll be giving an ambisonics workshop in march, where i will have to 
import several hefty chunks of multichannel audio contributed by 
participants, while the crowd is watching. looks like i won't be getting 
much sleep in the near future.

will try and get them to submit their data in advance - that lets me 
sleep and maybe some evidence pops up while i'm importing the stuff...
