A method and apparatus for mixing audio streams, and an information storage medium that stores mixing information. The information storage medium includes at least one audio stream that contains a multiplicity of audio data obtained from respective multiple channels, and mixing information used to mix at least parts of the multiplicity of audio data. Accordingly, it is possible to mix and reproduce different types of channel components without changing the channel formats of different audio streams. Furthermore, it is also possible to perform dynamic mixing on multiple channel components, thus enabling adaptation to a change in audio content and characteristics thereof and thereby reproducing audio data more appropriately. In particular, since mixing information is described in interactive data allowing an interaction with a user, it is possible to provide the user with more applications.
