The MPEG-4 Standard provides a complete frame-work
for hybrid coding of natural and structured sound
information that permits the description of complete
spatial environments with a low amount of data. A
new platform, based on a virtual DSP, has been
developed to optimize the MPEG decoding and pre-processing
interface to feed an array of loudspeakers
rendering spatial audio by wave field synthesis. The
virtual DSP is optimized for superscalar processors
and has an instruction set adapted to MPEG-4
advanced audio features. An actual system has been
implemented on a general-purpose processor and on
a parallel multimedia DSP.
