Constant bitrate real-time lossless audio decoder restoring moved excess coded data amounts

A lossless decoder to decode encoded audio data, the encoded audio data comprising data units less than a predetermined size, the decoder comprising:

• a first buffer to buffer a first portion of a first data unit, the first portion comprising encoded audio data added to a first original data unit to create the first data unit;
• a buffer controller to combine the buffered first portion from said first buffer with a second data unit subsequent in a sequence to the first data unit to recreate a second original data unit, where the first portion was removed from the second original data unit which exceeded the predetermined size to create the second data unit which is within the predetermined size;
• and
• a restorer to receive and restore the first and second original data units in the sequence.

A lossless decoder to decode encoded audio data encoded in a sequence, the encoded audio data comprising data units, the lossless decoder comprising:

• a first buffer to buffer a first portion of a first data unit, the first portion comprising encoded audio data added to a first original data unit to create the first data unit;
• a buffer controller to combine the buffered first portion with a second data unit to recreate a second original data unit, where the first portion was removed from the second original data unit to create the second data unit and the second data unit is subsequent to the first data unit in the sequence;
• and
• a restorer to restore the first and second original data units in the sequence.
