Abstract
A radio receiver apparatus comprises radio circuitry for receiving a sequence of radio data packets, transmitted at regular intervals, wherein the sequence of radio data packets encodes a digital audio stream and each radio data packet encodes a respective number of audio samples from the digital audio stream. The apparatus also comprises a digital audio interface for outputting audio samples from the received digital audio stream, a controllable oscillator arranged to control an output rate at which the audio samples are output from the digital audio interface, and a timer. The apparatus also comprises control logic, configured to use the timer to measure an interval between receiving each of a pair of the radio data packets, and to control the oscillator to vary the output rate incrementally, in a number of steps, while outputting the audio samples from one radio data packet. The number of steps, or the size of each step, or both, depends on the measured interval.
