1. A decoder for decoding an encoded digital signal, wherein the encoded digital signal represents a wideband digital signal having a sampling frequency Fs, and the encoded digital signal comprises consecutive frames, each frame comprising a plurality of information packets, each information packet comprising N bits, N being larger than 1, a frame comprising at least a first frame portion including synchronization information;
- and wherein the decoder comprises;
an input for receiving the encoded digital signal, means for converting the encoded digital signal into a replica of the wideband digital signal, andan output for supplying the replica of the wideband digital signal,characterized in that said converter is arranged for converting a signal having a number of information packets in one frame determined according to the formula ##EQU4## where BR is the bitrate of the encoded digital signal and ns is the number of samples of the wideband digital signal whose corresponding information in the encoded digital signal is included in one frame of the encoded digital signal, andif P is an integer, the number of information packets in one frame is P, andif P is not an integer, the number of information packets in a number v of the frames is P'"'"', where P'"'"' is the highest integer whose value is less than P; and
the number of information packets in a number w of the other frames is equal to P'"'"'+1, the numbers v and w being selected such that the average frame rate of the encoded digital signal is substantially equal to Fs /ns.

Abstract
An encoded digital signal having frames of different lengths is decoded to obtain a wideband digital signal. The decoder converts frames having information packets, where the number of packets in a frame is related to the sampling frequency of the wideband digital signal, the bitrate of the encoded digital signal, the number of bits in the information packets, and the number of samples of the wideband digital signal whose corresponding information is the encoded digital signal in the frame. A receiver for such a signal includes a decoder for converting the frames.
