Claim 7:
8. The audio encoder according to claim 1, further comprising:
a linear prediction domain encoder comprising the linear prediction domain core encoder and the multichannel encoder;
a frequency domain encoder; and
a controller for switching between the linear prediction domain encoder and the frequency domain encoder,
wherein the frequency domain encoder comprises a second joint multichannel encoder for encoding second multichannel information from the multichannel signal, wherein the second joint multichannel encoder is different from the first joint multichannel encoder, and
wherein the controller is configured such that a portion of the multichannel signal is represented either by an encoded frame of the linear prediction domain encoder or by an encoded frame of the frequency domain encoder.
