Abstract
The present principles relate to a method, for configuring an audio rendering and/or acquiring device of a communication system comprising a master device, the audio rendering and/or acquiring device being adapted to use at least one channel of a plurality of audio channels of the master device, the method being performed in the audio rendering and/or acquiring device. According to an embodiment, the method includes obtaining a state of at least one of the audio channels, the state of an audio channel being representative of a current assigning of the audio channel to another audio rendering and/or acquiring device and selecting the at least one audio channel to be used according to its state. The present principles also relate to the corresponding audio rendering and/or acquiring device, system, computer readable program product and computer readable storage medium.
