There are a few errors, including some typos which have been corrected
in the second edition.  Nothing which would lead someone too far astray.

BTW, although constant power panning is probably best for this
particular application, it is not the only "proper" way.  For example,
if the sounds are to be arranged in a /straight line/ in front of the
listener things get a bit more complicated; constant power moves the
apparent sound source in an arc.  There is nothing here which doesn't
fall out of some trig and the inverse square law, but I've heard more
than one recording where this simple fact seems to have been forgotten.

But in the teleconferencing case, a "round table" seems appropriate.
Thanks for correcting my oversimplification (which would create a bit
of a "hole in the middle").
