Abstract:
1. A method for processing multi-channel audio streams comprising: receiving at a first single-channel component located at a near-end channel of a signal transmission path, signal-processing input from a group of far-end channels of the signal transmission path, the first single-channel component being one of a group of first single-channel components each located at a different near-end channel of the signal transmission path and each receiving the signal-processing input from the group of far-end channels; processing an audio signal at the first single-channel component using the signal processing input from the group of far-end channels; and sending the processed audio signal from the first single-channel component to a second single-channel component located at the near-end channel, the second single-channel component being one of a group of second single-channel components each located at a different near-end channel of the signal transmission path and each receiving the signal-processing input from the group of far-end channels of the signal transmission path, wherein the group of first single-channel components includes each of the first components of the near-end channels and the group of second single-channel components includes each of the second components of the near-end channels.
