Abstract

An audio device may be connected to a communication network. The audio device may send or receive audio data via a network, based on a network clock that may be synchronized with other audio device connected to the network. The audio device may buffer, convert between digital audio signals and analog audio signals, encrypt, decrypt, packetize, depacketize, compress, and/or decompress audio data using a local asynchronous media clock using a relatively lower precision clocking technology such as a crystal-based oscillator.
