Have a look at the VBAP externals. You can define channels and positions 
fairly easily. The one problem with such vector-based systems is a kind 
of flip/flop that happens in the middle: imagine moving a sound through 
the center of the room rather than around the periphery. When it gets to 
the middle, it "jumps" from the speakers on one side to the other. But 
for most purposes VBAP is alright.

best,
d.
