A method and receiver are provided. The receiver comprises a first delay buffer and redundant data removal block. The first delay buffer is configured to delay a first data stream carrying first content. The first data stream is comprised of a plurality of compressed data blocks. The redundant data removal block configured to for each compressed data block of the first data stream: identify redundant data in the compressed data block; remove the redundant data to provide a reduced compressed data block; and store the reduced compressed data block in the first delay buffer.

Multiple source receiver

A reception device comprising: at least one receiver and a corresponding delay buffer configured to receive portions of data for at least one data stream; wherein based on a request to switch from decoding delayed data portions retrieved from a host device from a first time point to decoding delayed data portions from a different, second time point, the request received while the controller is configured to receive the delayed data portion from said first time point for decoding; the controller is configured to;

Received path delay mechanism

An apparatus and method are provided. A first buffer is configured to store a first packet stream, the first buffer comprising a first read pointer pointing to a first position in the first packet stream. A second buffer is configured to store a second packet stream. The second packet stream corresponds to the first packet stream and the second buffer comprises a second read pointer. A controller is configured to determine a second position in the second packet stream that corresponds to the first position in the first packet stream and adjust the second read pointer to point to the second position.

Audio data processing

A method, reception device and host device are provided for aligning data streams at a multi-source receiver. Portions of data for a plurality of data streams are received at a reception device, the plurality of data streams carrying respective content, wherein the content of each data stream is misaligned with at least one other data stream with respect to time. The portions of data are forwarded to a host device to be stored in respective delay buffers. Indexing information is maintained for each of the delay buffers. The portions of data are forwarded to the host device along with the indexing information.
