Multiple Read Pointers

Using multiple read pointers, multiple listeners can be simulated. Furthermore, each read-pointer signal can be filtered to simulate propagation losses and radiation characteristics of the source in the direction of the listener. The read-pointers can move independently to simulate the different Doppler shifts associated with different listener motions and relative source directions.
