Abstract: A method for rendering an audio output based on an audio data stream including M audio signals, side information including a series of reconstruction instances of a reconstruction matrix C and first timing data, the side information allowing reconstruction of N audio objects from the M audio signals, and object metadata defining spatial relationships between the N audio objects. The method includes generating a synchronized rendering matrix based on the object metadata, the first timing data, and information relating to a current playback system configuration, the synchronized rendering matrix having a rendering instance for each reconstruction instance, multiplying each reconstruction instance with a corresponding rendering instance to form a corresponding instance of an integrated rendering matrix, and applying the integrated rendering matrix to the audio signals in order to render an audio output.

Abstract: An error-concealing audio decoding method comprises: receiving a packet comprising a set of MDCT coefficients encoding a frame of time-domain samples of an audio signal; identifying the received packet as erroneous; generating estimated MDCT coefficients to replace the set of MDCT coefficients of the erroneous packet, based on corresponding MDCT coefficients associated with a received packet directly preceding the erroneous packet; assigning signs of a first subset of MDCT coefficients of the estimated MDCT coefficients, wherein the first subset comprises such MDCT coefficients that are associated with tonal-like spectral bins, to coincide with signs of corresponding MDCT coefficients of said preceding packet; randomly assigning signs of a second subset of MDCT coefficients of the estimated MDCT coefficients, wherein the second subset comprises MDCT coefficients associated with noise-like spectral bins; replacing the erroneous packet by a concealment packet containing the estimated MDCT coefficients and the s

Abstract: Disclosed are some examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products implementing techniques for extending the range of a set of decoded parameter values for a sequence of frequency bands in an identifiable time frame of an audio signal. In some implementations, the parameter values vary in relation to a sequence of time frames of the audio signal and in relation to a sequence of frequency bands in each time frame. In some implementations, it is determined that a decoded value corresponds to a minimum of a first range of values of a first coding protocol of a set of coding protocols. The determined value is modified to be below the minimum of the first range of values to produce an extended value. A modified set of decoded values including one or more extended values can thus be provided.

Abstract: In a device for processing a stereo audio signal having a first channel and a second channel the stereo signal is at first analyzed to obtain a measure for a quantity of bits required by a coder to code the stereo audio signal using a coding algorithm. The first channel and the second channel are then modified when the measure for the quantity of bits is larger than a predetermined value, the modification being performed in such a way that the energy of a sum signal of the first and the second modified channel is in a predetermined relation to the energy of a sum signal of the first and the second channel and that a difference signal of the first and the second modified channel is attenuated in contrast to the difference signal of the first and the second channel.

Abstract: In a device for processing a stereo audio signal having a first channel (L) and a second channel (R) the stereo signal is at first analyzed (12) to obtain a measure for a quantity of bits required by a coder to code the stereo audio signal using a coding algorithm.
