ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for producing, combining, and customizing virtual sound environments. A binaural sound system (400) includes a transceiver (492) configured for receiving a signal (600) containing at least a first type of information and a second type of information. The first type of information includes enunciated data (602). The enunciated data specifies certain information intended to be audibly enunciated to a user. The second type of information comprises first type of metadata (604-1) and a second type of metadata (604-2). The first type of metadata includes information which identifies a characteristic of the enunciated data exclusive of spatial position information. The second type of metadata identifies a spatial position information associated with the enunciated data.
