  When soundwaves are propagating through a medium, there are several 
effects happening, like dispersion and reflexion, and they may travel at 
different speeds with same frequency following it's shear modulus (see 
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_sound). That's how ambisonic 
tools might be usefull...

Doppler effect is involved when the source of a sound and the listener 
are moving relative to each other.
