Thank you, Edwin. Confusion resolved. I was baffled by the
responses to my question and now I know why. :-)

I've been to a few large-hall surround supported shows put
on by some local Creative Labs folks who are into that and
avante garde arts and I've tried to get binaural recordings
of them. I was utterly frustrated by the extent to which
_everything_ changes with the slightest head motion.

It's not nearly so bad if the reinforcement is mono but
still, the slightest motion from left to right can
dramatically pull the apparent source to one side or the
other. I've about given up trying to get anything live in
stereo that isn't up close and cozy.
