Sure it is doable "with 3 ears"...
However the original poster was asking how to do it with conventional
2 channel "Left/Right" stereo. Which can't be done (as another poster
has already said) because you can't generally solve 2 simultanious
equations of 3 unknowns to unambigious results.

I simply was explaining (to a poster asking "then how do the ears do it?")
how they even frequently fail, except that your head can turn. The 
"electronic head" in conventional stereo can't.
