Abstract:
An apparatus for encoding a multi-channel signal including at least two channels includes a time-spectral converter for converting sequences of blocks of sampling values of the at least two channels into a frequency domain representation having sequences of blocks of spectral values for the at least two channels; a multi-channel processor for applying a joint multi-channel processing to the sequences of blocks of spectral values to obtain at least one result sequence of blocks of spectral values including information related to the at least two channels; a spectral-time converter for converting the result sequence of blocks of spectral values into a time domain representation including an output sequence of blocks of sampling values; and a core encoder for encoding the output sequence of blocks of sampling values to obtain an encoded multi-channel signal.

Claim (Index 21):
Apparatus of  claim 1 ,\n wherein the spectral-time converter is configured to convert the at least one result sequence into a time domain representation without any spectral domain resampling, and wherein the core encoder is configured to core encode the non-resampled output sequence to acquire the encoded multi-channel signal, or wherein the spectral-time converter is configured to convert the at least one result sequence into a time domain representation without any spectral domain resampling without the side signal, and wherein the core encoder is configured to core encode the non-resampled output sequence for the side signal to acquire the encoded multi-channel signal, or wherein the apparatus further comprises a specific spectral domain side signal encoder, or wherein the input sampling rate is at least one sampling rate of a group of sampling rates comprising 8 kHz, 16 kHz, 32 kHz, or wherein the output sampling rate is at least one sampling rate of a group of sampling rates comprising 8 kHz, 12.8 kHz, 16 kHz, 25.6 kHz and 32 kHz.
