Yes but the extra variable doesnt hurt that much, so heres a patch with it.
Comments? rich? I can also add a flag for the case that positions arent known, so this is skiped. We can also place this stuff in an info packet but as its essential for playback of at least some codecs, raw being one, and usefull for others which do not allow precisse positions to be stored it seems the stream headers might be better. Also info packets would have a much higher overhead to store this.
I'm against the useless physical units and denominator. Just the ratios of the positions to one another matter; the whole thing is scale-invariant for all practical purposes. Otherwise I don't see anything wrong. I also mildly like polar/spherical coordinates better, but if you want the speakers to be able to have different relative differences from the listener, then it's probably more of a mess, so just stick with rectangular.
