Abstract: Method and system for playing audio on a device, the method comprising the steps of a component of a digital work initiating a request for audio data during a rendering of the digital work, the digital work including video data. In response to the request, receiving the audio data. While continuing the rendering of the digital work on the device, suspending playback of first audio data currently playing on the device and playing the received audio data on the device. When the received audio data stops playing continuing with the rendering of the digital work on the device and resuming playback of the first audio data previously playing on the device.

Abstract: A method and system for providing a device with audio data, the method comprising the steps of: receiving from a device a request for audio data, wherein the request is received while the device is rendering a digital work, the digital work including video data. Determining audio data to send to the device in response to the request. Sending the determined audio data to the device together with computer readable instructions, wherein the computer readable instructions cause the device to: while continuing the rendering of the digital work on the device, suspend playback of first audio data currently playing on the device and playing the received audio data on the device. When the received audio data stops playing continuing with the rendering of the digital work on the device and resume playback of the first audio data previously playing on the device.
