Claim 11:
12. The audio encoder of claim 1, wherein the second encoding processor comprises:
a sampling rate converter configured for converting the second audio signal portion to a lower sampling rate representation of the second audio signal portion, wherein the sampling rate converter is configured so that a lower sampling rate of the lower sampling rate representation is lower than the audio sampling rate of the second audio signal portion, and so that the lower sampling rate representation of the second audio signal portion comprises the low band of the second audio signal portion and does not comprise the high band of the second audio signal portion;
a time domain low band encoder configured for time domain encoding the lower sampling rate representation of the second audio signal portion; and
a time domain bandwidth extension encoder configured for parametrically encoding the high band of the second audio signal portion.
