Abstract
The invention synchronizes and mixes multiple streams at different sampling rates by selectively accessing portions of the received streams in a sequence that allows for independent input and output frame rates. The sequence that is used to access the received streams is irregular with regard to the output frames, and formulated such that the input and output frames are synchronized to a super-frame that corresponds to a least common multiple frame in a conventional synchronizing and mixing system.
