  • Device and a method to process audio data, a computer program element and computer-readable medium
    Patent number: 7895138
    Abstract: An audio data processing device (100) comprises an audio redistributor (101) adapted to generate a first number of audio data output signals (102; Z1 . . . ZM) based on a second number of audio data input signals (103; X1 . . . XN), and an audio classifier (104) adapted to generate gradually sliding control signals (P), in a gradually sliding dependence on types of audio content according to which the second number of audio data input signals (103; X1 . . . XN) are classified, for controlling the audio redistributor (101) that generates the first number of audio data output signals (102; Z1 . . . ZM) from the second number of audio data input signals (103; X1 . . . XN).
