Abstract
A system may time-shift the distribution high-definition (HD) audio. The system can obtain an audio stream from a specified audio source, transcode the audio stream into an HD audio stream, and store the HD audio stream in a memory. The system may later forward the stored HD audio stream to a destination device, which can be a communication device linked to the system through a local telephone network or a remote communication device. The system can also store HD audio when a local communication device receives an incoming call request that interrupts a current HD audio distribution process. The system may resume distribution of the HD audio after processing the incoming call request from a point when the distribution was interrupted.
