Abstract
A method and device are described to process an event on an audio rendering device. The method may comprise rendering a first audio stream via at least a first audio signal in a first audio playback channel and a second audio signal in a second audio playback channel and monitoring occurrence of the event with an associated second audio stream. Upon occurrence of the event, the first audio signal may be panned to the second audio playback channel, the first audio signal being mixed with the second audio signal in the second audio playback channel. The second audio stream is then rendered via the first audio playback channel.
