    Abstract: An apparatus configured to: obtain spatial audio content; decode encoded spatial metadata associated with the spatial audio content based, at least partially, on a configuration parameter indicative of a codec configuration used to encode, at least in part, spatial metadata; determine at least one prototype audio signal based, at least partially, on the spatial audio content and a configuration of at least one output device; and determine one or more spatial audio signals based, at least partially, on the at least one prototype audio signal and the decoded spatial metadata; and provide, to the at least one output device, the one or more spatial audio signals.

    Abstract: An apparatus comprising means configured to: obtain at least one audio signal; obtain, for the at least one audio signal, spatial audio signal parameter values, the spatial audio signal parameters values distributed within a time-frequency domain (106); determine a merge metric to control a merging of the spatial audio signal parameter values over the time-frequency domain (201); and merge (203), based on the merge metric (202), the spatial audio signal parameter values to a smaller number of spatial audio signal parameter values overtime and/or frequency within the time-frequency domain.

    Abstract: According to an example embodiment, a technique for spatial audio processing on basis of two or more input audio signals that represent an audio scene and at least one further input audio signal that represents at least part of the audio scene is provided, the technique including identifying a portion of interest (POI) in the audio scene; processing the two or more input audio signals into a spatial audio signal where the POI in the audio scene is suppressed; generating, on basis of the at least one further input audio signal, a complementary audio signal that represents the POI in the audio scene; and combining the complementary audio signal with the spatial audio signal to create a reconstructed spatial audio signal.

    Abstract: An apparatus for spatial audio encoding including circuitry configured to: obtain a first spatial audio stream of a first spatial audio format configured to be encoded with a low bitrate, wherein the first spatial audio stream includes an audio signal and a first metadata; obtain a second and different spatial audio stream of a second spatial audio format, wherein the second spatial audio stream includes a second audio signal and a second metadata; convert the second spatial audio format into the first spatial audio format to encode a converted second spatial audio stream with the low bitrate, wherein the converted spatial audio stream represents spatial audio properties of the second spatial audio stream; combine the first spatial audio stream and the converted second spatial audio stream to generate a combined spatial audio stream; and encode the combined spatial audio stream.
