+When encoding a stereo stream, some parameters are shared across the left and right channels, while others are transmitted for each channel, or jointly encoded. All the flags for the features, transients and pitch (pitch period and gains) are transmitted only one copy. The coarse and fine energy parameters are transmitted separately for each channel.

+The main difference between mono and stereo coding is the PVQ coding of the normalised vectors. For bands of N=3 or N=4 samples, the PVQ coding is performed separately for left and right, with only one (joint) pitch bit and the left channel of each band encoded before the right channel of the same band. Each band always uses the same number of pulses for left as for right. For bands of N>=5 samples, a normalised mid-side (M-S) encoding is used. Let L and R be the normalised vector of a certain band for the left and right channels, respectively. The mid and side vectors are computed as M=L+R and S=L-R and no longer have unit norm.

+<t>

+From M and S, an angular parameter theta=2/pi*atan2(||S||, ||M||) is computed. It is quantised on a scale from 0 to 1 with an intervals of 2^-qb, where qb = (b-2*(N-1)*(40-log2_frac(N,4)))/(32*(N-1)), b is the number of bits allocated to the band, and log2_frac() is defined in <xref target="cwrs.c">cwrs.c</xref>. Let m=M/||M|| and s=S/||S||, m and s are separately encoded with the PVQ encoder described in <xref target="pvq"></xref>. The number of bits allocated to m and s depends on the value of theta.
