Another factor not to forget is that ray-tracing algorithms DO NOT take
phase information into account (yet - if they did, then we'd have the
ability for holographic rendering, but that's another order of
magnitude of compute power away). Phase information is a very
important characteristic of sound propogation, and is, in fact a major
indicator as to direction.
