1. A transmission device, comprising:
processing circuitry configured to:
generate a predetermined number of audio streams including encoded data of a plurality of groups;
transmit a container of a predetermined format having the predetermined number of audio streams, and
insert, into the container and/or at least one of the audio streams, command information, wherein the command information includes information indicating a correspondence between a plurality of commands and a plurality of groups, or information indicating a correspondence between preset groups composed of combinations of commands and a predetermined number of groups, and wherein a receiver selects a particular command, out of the plurality of commands included in the command information, so that a decoder selectively decodes only particular encoded data of a particular subset of groups, based on the particular command selected by the receiver.
