1. A method for dividing an at least two channel, digital audio signal into separate auditory events, the method comprising: analyzing time concurrent samples of the audio signal across at least two channels to determine auditory event boundaries, the samples representing speech; and identifying a continuous succession of the auditory event boundaries in the audio signal, wherein each auditory event is between adjacent auditory event boundaries, each auditory event boundary representing an end of a preceding auditory event and a beginning of a next auditory event such that a continuous succession of auditory events is obtained, and wherein neither auditory event boundaries nor the auditory events are known in advance of identifying the continuous succession of auditory event boundaries and obtaining the continuous succession of auditory events.
