Kind of... there is quite a bit of trig to get the coefs. Hard coded  
coefs are, I think, impossible for encoding, and I don't like them for  
decoding either. One thing I do quite a bit is decode for a 'moving'  
virtual speaker, then re-encode that signal. It gives you something  
like a 'spotlight' into the soundfield, and can be a very interesting  
effect (especially when filtering and other effect are applied between  
the decode and re-encode process).
