Abstract
The invention relates to a method for combining a plurality of audio streams encoded by frequency sub-band encoding, comprising the following steps: decoding (E) a portion of the encoded streams over at least one frequency sub-band; combining (E) the streams thus encoded to form a mixed stream; selecting (E), from among the plurality of encoded audio streams, at least one encoded replication stream, over at least one frequency sub-band that is different from that of the decoding step. The method is such that the selection of the at least one encoded replication stream is carried out according to a criterion which takes into consideration the presence of a predetermined frequency band in the encoded stream (E). The invention also relates to a device which implements the described method and can be integrated into a conference bridge, a communication terminal or a communication gateway.
