FreeFieldHRIR
The convention is an extension of SimpleFreeFieldHRIR in order to consider more complex data sets described in spatially continuous representation. Each HRTF direction corresponds to an emitter (instead of a source position), and a consistent measurement for a single listener and all directions is described by a set of the emitter positions (instead of source positions) surrounding the listener.
The data type 'FIR-E' is used (instead of 'FIR' as in SimpleFreeFieldHRIR).
The conventions is defined since AES69-2020 (SOFA 2.0).
