Abstract
An audio encoder is disclosed for providing an encoded representation of an audio information encodes a sequence of audio frames. The audio encoder provides one or more immediate playout frames including a representation of a current audio frame, preceding the current audio frame. The audio encoder provides the representations of the current frame and of the one or more audio frames preceding the current audio frame, such that these representations are decodable using a same decoder configuration. The audio encoder provides the representations of the one or more audio frames preceding the current audio frame, which are included into the immediate playout frame, using a modified encoding functionality, which encodes an audio frame using a smaller number of bits than a normal encoding functionality, which is used for the encoding of the current audio frame.
