Abstract
In a wireless content sharing system, audio may be captured at various levels of a source device, including at an application level. Audio may also be divided into components prior to packetization and transmission, allowing different channels of audio to be sent to different target devices. Audio may be sent with timing information to coordinate playback of content. Audio may be buffered to reduce user noticeable latency.
