Default Best way to mike for room ambience in surround

I want to record the ambience of a room in surround (for a 5.1 system)
and was wondering about the best mike setup for that. Are there any
standard techniques?

Thanks.

There are dozens of standard techniques. That's the problem.

You're just trying to get wallas?

Ambient room and crowd noise. If you listen to a room of people just
talking, they are going "walla, walla walla." So we call the tracks
wallas.

In my opinion, you should place two cardioid mics behind the main mic, facing
left and right. The quality of SI (spatial impression) is determined primarily
by lateral reverberation, so that's what you want to record.
