We sell libraries as royalty-free stock.

I agree with the differences between ambisonics and discrete surround that you mention.

We are working now on a big update of all our content to more contemporary standards, so we tackle this issue in two ways:

1) We use distance simulation and reverberation wet/dry re-balancing for our ambience kits, so that our ambisonic content sounds at the correct distance from the listener.

2) As we create our content through compositing, we use separate channels for the discrete multichannel exports, using a great surround panner Iosono's AnyMix Pro.

That way we achieve best of both worlds and provide the proper material for each type of project.
