ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, the method includes receiving an audio data frame having at least one channel. The channel is subdivided into a plurality of blocks, and at least two of the blocks are capable of having different lengths. The embodiment further includes obtaining indicator information indicating whether determining of a prediction order for each block is allowed, and determining the prediction order from the audio signal indicating the prediction order for each block if the indicator information indicating that determining of the prediction order for each block is allowed. The channel is decoded using the prediction order.
