Abstract
Audio data at the top of each packet is always set at the top of sample data, thereby allowing packets to be treated as units and facilitating audio data processing, such as timing processes, sequential processing, etc. A plurality of samples consisting of variable length data are arranged in a packet of predetermined bytes. In one embodiment, all samples other than the first sample are sequentially arranged with the top of the first sample being disposed at a predetermined position of the packet. The total byte length of the sample data is less than or equal to a maximum packet byte length If the actual packet byte length is less than the maximum packet byte length, stuffing byte data or a padding byte data is inserted to fill in a remaining portion.
