Abstract
An audio generation system includes a buffer manager that creates audio buffers to receive streams of audio data from an audio data source, such as from a synthesizer component for example. The audio buffers include sink-in audio buffers that receive one or more streams of audio data when the streams of audio data are requested by the buffer manager for input to the sink-in audio buffers. The audio buffers also include mix-in audio buffers that receive streams of audio data from one or more of the sink-in audio buffers, and from any number of other mix-in audio buffers. The audio generation system includes an audio component, such as a speaker for example, that receives audio data from the sink-in audio buffers and produces an audio rendition corresponding to the audio data.
