Abstract
A method for reducing audio latency when executing program instructions for processing audio data is provided. In this method, a top threshold value and a bottom threshold value are provided. A determination is then made as to the amount of audio data stored in an audio buffer of an audio renderer. Thereafter, the amount is compared with the top threshold value and the bottom threshold value, and accordingly, an audio data feed to the audio renderer is adjusted incrementally such that the amount is between the top threshold value and the bottom threshold value.
