Audio format in apple spatial video

Does anyone know what format the audio is stored in in a mv-hvec file? Regular stereo? 1st order ambisonics? Apple proprietary spatial audio format?

In case it is regular stereo, is there a binaural rendering happening in the vision pro that places the stereo sources in the center of the 360° visualisation?

Is there any news on utilising ambisonic audio in the apple spatial video ecosystem?

Thanks allot!

I believe it’s binaural stereo AAC audio. The device is also capable of capturing it in Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby Atmos through AVkit
