1. A method comprising:
- applying at least two different amounts of pre-processing to an audio signal to obtain at least two different target signals;
encoding a first one of said target signals to obtain primary coded data; and
using at least a second one of said at least two different target signals for generating enhancement data for said primary coded data.

Abstract
For taking account of different requirements on encoded audio data having different bit rates, at least two different amounts of pre-processing are applied to an audio signal to obtain at least two different target signals. A first one of the target signals is then encoded to obtain primary coded data. At least a second one of the at least two different target signals is moreover used for generating enhancement data for the primary coded data.
