Zusammenfassung:The present document relates to audio encoding/decoding. In particular, the present document relates to a method and system for improving the quality of encoded multi-channel audio signals. An audio encoder configured to encode a multi-channel audio signal according to a total available data-rate is described. The multi-channel audio signal is representable as a basic group (121) of channels for rendering the multi-channel audio signal in accordance to a basic channel configuration, and as an extension group (122) of channels, which-in combination with the basic group (122)-is for rendering the multi-channel audio signal in accordance to an extended channel configuration. The basic channel configuration and the extended channel configuration are different from one another.
