AUDIO SESSION CLASSIFICATION
Examples of methods for audio session classification are described herein. In some examples, a method may include determining, at a first classification stage, whether an audio session is classifiable with predetermined criteria. In some examples, the method may include classifying, at a second classification stage, the audio session based on a machine learning analysis of metadata in a case that the audio session is not classifiable at the first classification stage.
Apparatus and method for realizing a SAOC downmix of 3D audio content
An apparatus for generating one or more audio output channels is provided. The apparatus includes a parameter processor for calculating output channel mixing information and a downmix processor for generating the one or more audio output channels. The downmix processor is configured to receive an audio transport signal including one or more audio transport channels, wherein two or more audio object signals are mixed within the audio transport signal, and wherein the number of the one or more audio transport channels is smaller than the number of the two or more audio object signals. The audio transport signal depends on a first mixing rule and on a second mixing rule. The first mixing rule indicates how to mix the two or more audio object signals to obtain a plurality of premixed channels. Moreover, the second mixing rule indicates how to mix the plurality of premixed channels.

Scalable unified audio renderer
In general, techniques are described by which to support scalable unified audio rendering. A device comprising an audio decoder, a memory, and a processor may be configured to perform various aspects of the techniques.
