Abstract
In general, techniques are described by which to specify spatially formatted enhanced audio data for backward compatible audio bitstreams. A device comprising a memory and one or more processors may be configured to perform the techniques. The memory may store the backward compatible bitstream that conforms to a legacy transport format. The processor(s) may obtain, from the backward compatible bitstream, legacy audio data that conforms to a legacy audio format and a spatially formatted extended audio stream. The processor(s) may process the spatially formatted extended audio stream to obtain extended audio data that enhances the legacy audio data. The processor(s) may next obtain, based on the legacy audio data and the extended audio data, enhanced audio data that conforms to an enhanced audio format. The processor(s) may output the enhanced audio data to one or more speakers.
