One exception: with a pure-Blumlein, amplitude-stereo recording, the
directions of the reflections of the sound sources from the floor and
other boundaries will be preserved. So it is possible that these will
be interpreted by the brain of the listener as corresponding to height.
However, the incidence of such recordings is close to zero.
