1. A method for source coding a signal to provide for robust error recovery, said signal comprising a plurality of signal elements (SEs), the source coding comprising:

  • encoding each SE such that each SE is represented by a plurality of bits, the plurality of bits comprising variable length data;

    dividing said encoded SEs into a plurality of SE sets;

    forming a bitstream for each SE set, the bitstream comprising the plurality of bits representing each SE of a SE set; and

    distributing the bits of each bitstream across a plurality of bitstreams such that parameters describing the SEs of each SE set are distributed across the plurality of bitstreams.
