1. An audio encoder, for encoding an input signal, comprising:
- a speech encoder for encoding the input signal to produce a synthetic signal;
a non-linear delay compensator for delaying the input signal;
combination means for combining the delayed input signal and synthetic signal into a combined signal; and
means for audio encoding the combined signal.

12. An audio encoder for encoding an input signal comprising
a speech encoder for encoding the input signal; -
a non-linear delay compensator for delaying the input signal; and
an audio encoder in series with the delay compensator, wherein the series combination of the delay compensator and audio encoder is in cascade with the speech encoder.

13. A method of using an extant speech encoder in an audio encoder comprising the steps of:
-
encoding an input signal using the speech encoder including a non-linear filter to produce a synthetic signal;
delaying the input signal to compensate for a delay introduced by the speech encoder;
combining the delayed input signal and the synthetic signal into a combined signal; and
audio encoding the combined signal. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
