1st order with 4 channels seems to already provide stereo spacialization
Sure, but higher ambisonics orders give more accuracy.
(I just want to turn a stereo signal into stereo binaural).
I guess you also want to spatialize the signal in some way? There is no benefit in just "converting" a stereo track to binaural IMO, the stereo image just gets worse...
I couldn't also find any documentation on how to control the vst parameters in the website
Just like any other VST plugin. Have a look at the "pd parameter" section in vstplugin~-help.pd

This is a known bug with BinauralDecoder: it crashes in the process method if you provide less than 4 input channels (= 1st order). I *think* they have fixed this already. Maybe you are using an older version?
no, I just downloaded them for the first time. using 4 channels works.
Generally, I have the suspicion that you don't use the correct number of channels. Assuming you want to use 3rd order, the StereoEncoder needs 2 input and 16 output channels, i.e. [vstplugin~ 2 16]; conversely the BinauralDecoder needs 16 input and 2 output channels, i.e. [vstplugin~ 16 2].
ok, since I don't know anything about this topic, I didn't knew what was happening. 1st order with 4 channels seems to already provide stereo spacialization (I just want to turn a stereo signal into stereo binaural).
I couldn't also find any documentation on how to control the vst parameters in the website - although there is info on osc control, maybe I'll try that later.
