Abstract
A data processing device is programmed to decode and transform a stream of data representing a plurality of subband encoded channels of audio data into one or more channels of PCM encoded data for reproduction by a speaker subsystem. An improved method for decoding and transforming utilizes downmix matrices (1021 and 1022) to form downmixed frequency domain channels in buffers (1031-1034). Only two long DCT transform operations (1041 and 1042) and two short DCT transform operations (1043 and 1044) are needed to transform the downmixed frequency domain channels into a left PCM output (1071) and a right PCM output (1072).
