1. A scalable stereo audio coding method comprising:
- transforming a first channel and a second channel audio samples;
quantizing the transformed first channel and a second channel audio samples; and
coding the quantized first channel audio samples up to a predetermined transition layer and then interleavingly coding the quantized first and second channel audio samples with increasing a layer index from a layer succeeding the transition layer, until coding for a predetermined plurality of layers is finished.
