1. An apparatus for decoding an encoded audio signal, wherein one or more tracks are associated with the encoded audio signal, each one of the tracks comprising a plurality of track positions and a plurality of pulses, wherein the apparatus comprises:

  • a pulse information decoder for decoding a plurality of pulse positions, wherein each one of the pulse positions is one of the track positions, where one of the pulses is located, and wherein the pulse information decoder is configured to decode the plurality of pulse positions by only using one track position number, one total pulse number and one state number, wherein the track position number indicates a total number of the track positions of at least one of the tracks, and wherein the total pulse number indicates a total number of the pulses of at least one of the tracks; and

    a signal decoder for decoding the encoded audio signal by generating a synthesized audio signal using the plurality of pulse positions and a plurality of predictive filter coefficients being associated with the encoded audio signal,wherein at least one of the pulse information decoder and the signal decoder comprises a hardware implementation,wherein the pulse information decoder is furthermore adapted to decode a plurality of pulse signs by only using the track position number, the total pulse number and the state number, wherein each one of the pulse signs indicates a sign of one of the plurality of pulses, andwherein the signal decoder is adapted to decode the encoded audio signal by generating a synthesized audio signal furthermore using the plurality of pulse signs.
