Abstract (en)

A method for coding a stereo audio signal, composed of its two components comprising a first input audio signal (1) and a second input audio signal (2), into a single composite audio signal (3), comprising the steps of: - averaging said first input audio signal (1) and said second input audio signal (2) into an averaged audio signal (4, 9), - determining a first coding information (7) by comparing said averaged audio signal (4, 9) to said first input audio signal (1), - determining a second coding information (8) by comparing said averaged audio signal (4, 9) to said second input audio signal (2), - embedding said first and second coding information (7, 8) into said averaged audio signal (4, 9) to obtain the composite audio signal (3).
