True Binaural 3D audio/HRTF

Hi,
I would like to know if anyone has gotten true binaural positional 3D audio working using HRTFs (head related transfer function), not pseudo panning/amplitude type method.
I am not sure if this is possible via OpenAL/FMOD etc as I do not have enough experience with the systems. I am working on a project which centrally depends on the ability to spatialize audio via binaural output.
One way, I assume is via MAX/MSP Spatializer from IRCAM, but becomes a bit complex, as positional data should be sent from TGEA to Max/MSP, and samples would have to be either stored in MAX/MSP, or streamed via a multichannel I/O or intra app bridge from TGEA to MAX/MSP to be synced/spatialized..
Any input is very much appreciated, it sounds like there are a few people in the Forum working in these areas.
Best regards,
Marko, NYC.

Based on layers of FMOD forum entries, appears that they are still working on REAL hrtf implementation... bummer, back to drafting table, checking OpenAL implementations/customization further, tricks with FMOD 5.1 compatible surround output being converted via JVC Dolby headphone device etc, nice challenge. Any input will be appreciated.
