    Abstract: A wave field synthesis apparatus for driving an array of loudspeakers with drive signals, the apparatus includes a sound field synthesizer for generating sound field drive signals for causing the array of loudspeakers to generate one or more sound fields at one or more audio zones, a binaural renderer for generating binaural drive signals for causing the array of loud-speakers to generate specified sound pressures at at least two positions, wherein the at least two positions are determined based on a detected position and/or orientation of a listener, and a decision unit for deciding whether to generate the drive signals using the sound field synthesizer or using the binaural renderer.

    Abstract: An apparatus determines a spatial position of an audio source in multi moving audio sources scenarios. The apparatus receives audio signal versions as local sound waves. The apparatus determines first and second probabilities for a direction of arrival of the audio signal version based on the audio signal versions received within a first time interval; determines third and fourth probabilities for the direction of arrival of the audio signal version based on the audio signal versions received within a second time interval; determines a first probability difference between the first and third probabilities; determines a second probability difference between the second and fourth probabilities; combines the third probability and the first probability difference to obtain an updated third probability; combines the fourth probability with the second probability difference to obtain an updated fourth probability; and determines the spatial position based on the updated third and fourth probabilities.
