Narrow band parametric speech coding and wideband audio coding represent opposite coding paradigms involving audible information, namely in terms of the specificity of the audio material, target bit rates, audio quality, and application scenarios. In this paper we explore a new avenue addressing parametric coding of wideband speech using the potential and accuracy provided by frequency-domain signal analysis and modeling techniques that typically belong to the realm of high-quality audio coding. A first analysis-synthesis validation framework is described that illustrates the decomposition, parametric representation, and synthesis of perceptually and linguistically relevant speech components while preserving naturalness and speaker specific information.
