<refpurpose>
Generates static 3d binaural audio for headphones using a
Woodworth based spherical head model with improved low frequency
phase accuracy.

<refsect1>
<title>Description</title>
<para>
This opcode takes a source signal and spatialises it in the 3 dimensional space around a listener using head related transfer function (HRTF) based filters. It produces a static output (azimuth and elevation parameters are i-rate), because a static source allows much more efficient processing than <link linkend="hrtfmove"><citetitle>hrtfmove</citetitle></link> and <link linkend="hrtfmove2"><citetitle>hrtfmove2</citetitle></link>,.

<title>Initialization</title>
<para>
<emphasis>iAz</emphasis> -- azimuth value in degrees. Positive
values represent position on the right, negative values are
positions on the left.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis>iElev</emphasis> -- elevation value in
degrees. Positive values represent position above horizontal,
negative values are positions below horizontal (min -40).
</para>
<para>
<emphasis>ifilel </emphasis> -- left HRTF spectral data file
</para>
<para>
<emphasis>ifiler </emphasis> -- right HRTF spectral data file
</para>
<note>
<para>
Spectral datafiles (based on the MIT
HRTF database) are available in 3 different sampling rates:
44.1, 48 and 96 khz and are labelled accordingly. Input and
processing sr should match datafile sr. Files should be in the
current directory or the SADIR (see <link linkend="CommandEnvironment"><citetitle>Environment Variables</citetitle></link>).
</para>
</note>
<para>
<emphasis>iradius</emphasis> -- optional, head radius used for
phase spectra calculation in centimeters (default 9.0)
</para>
<para>
<emphasis>isr</emphasis> - optional (default 44.1kHz). Legal
values are 44100, 48000 and 96000.
</para>

<title>Performance</title>
<para>
Artifact-free user-defined static spatialisation is made
possible using an interpolation algorithm based on spectral
magnitude interpolation and a derived phase based on the
Woodworth spherical head model.
Accuracy is increased for the data set provided by extracting
and applying a frequency dependent scaling factor to the phase
spectra, leading to a more precise low frequency interaural time
difference.
Users can control head radius for the phase derivation, allowing
a crude level of individualisation.
The static source version of the opcode uses overlap add
convolution (it does not need STFT processing, see <link linkend="hrtfmove2"><citetitle>hrtfmove2</citetitle></link>),
and is thus considerably more efficient than <link linkend="hrtfmove2"><citetitle>hrtfmove2</citetitle></link> or
<link linkend="hrtfmove"><citetitle>hrtfmove</citetitle></link>, but cannot generate moving sources.
