1. A method comprising the steps of:

  • receiving a signal;

    encoding at least a portion of said signal into a sequence of encoded blocks using a perceptual encoding method; and

    for each encoded block of said sequence of encoded blocks, generating a transmittable block by combining a transport header with said encoded block, the content of said transport header being independent of the content of said encoded block, and said transport header containing a first set of pointers identifying a first one of said encoded blocks and a second set of pointers identifying a second one of said encoded blocks.
