Claim 1:
2. An apparatus according to claim 1,
wherein the metadata decoder is configured to receive two or more of the processed metadata signals, and is configured to generate two or more of the reconstructed metadata signals,
wherein the metadata decoder comprises two or more metadata decoder subunits,
wherein each of the two or more metadata decoder subunits comprises an adder and a selector,
wherein each of the two or more metadata decoder subunits is configured to receive the plurality of processed metadata samples of one of the two or more processed metadata signals, and is configured to generate one of the two or more reconstructed metadata signals,
wherein the adder of said metadata decoder subunit is configured to add one of the processed metadata samples of said one of the two or more processed metadata signals and another already generated reconstructed metadata sample of said one of the two or more reconstructed metadata signals, to acquire a sum value, and
wherein the selector of said metadata decoder subunit is configured to receive said one of the processed metadata samples, said sum value and the control signal, and wherein said selector is configured to determine one of the plurality of metadata samples of said reconstructed metadata signal so that, when the control signal indicates the first state, said reconstructed metadata sample is the sum value, and so that, when the control signal indicates the second state, said reconstructed metadata sample is said one of the processed metadata samples.
